If women want EQUITY, why are they not required by law to register for Selective Service…THE MILITARY DRAFT?

[DStar777]

No thanks. If you want to claim something is happening, (snip)

The OP states:

They want EQUITY…SO WHY ARE WOMEN NOT REQUIRED TO REGISTER FOR THE DRAFT OR GO TO PRISON?!

Feminists want equality but do NOT lobby to change or repeal the draft. You want draft equality?

Personally, I think women should be included.

Ok.. Great.. but.. sarcastically you said:

Nobody ever thought of this before! Not no one. It's never been talked about, ever.

Is that disputing the OPs claim? Because the OP didn't claim it was never discussed. The ..

They

.. in..

They want EQUITY

.. referst to feminists.. So I asked:

then show me explicit efforts by feminists to equalize the draft .. or.. to repeal it. We're waiting.

So you want draft equality .. but.. you don't care if feminists fight for it?

But they haven't prosecuted anyone for it since 1986.



It's cute when you guys all act like Hippies..

It’s funny when you guys support a stupid war and pretend no one will have to fight in it.

Women can do anything men can do.

They want EQUITY…SO WHY ARE WOMEN NOT REQUIRED TO REGISTER FOR THE DRAFT OR GO TO PRISON?!

Complete double standard.

What they say and what they do have nothing in common.

Well most lawmakers in that area who decides who registers and who doesn’t are male. Blame them.

It should be compulsory for both genders

Um, no, guy, a stupid war is Iraq, and that was a Republican production all the way.

The War in Ukraine is smart, and we aren't the ones fighting it.

Hey dunce, the some people that lied us into the Iraq War are the some people supporting the Ukraine war.

Not really.

But even if they were, the fact is, the Ukraine War is still the right thing to do.

But you guys still hate Zelenskyy for not giving Trump dirt on Biden.

If we do not know what a woman is…how can we exempt them from registering for selective service?

Fair point. Should the Selective Service be based on how a person identifies? Maybe the government should require everyone to register how they identify when they turn 18, require they keep the database up to date until their 35th birthday.

For those desiring such a position, they should blame it on the failure to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment.

Per the National Archives: Three years after the ratification of the 19th amendment, the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) was initially proposed in Congress in 1923 in an effort to secure full equality for women. It seeks to end the legal distinctions between men and women in terms of divorce, property, employment, and other matters.

Does your doctor know you are off your meds?

Spewing the Alinsky smear to me does not change the fact on how humans act. once it starts it becomes a swell and it does not stop util it is completed. Progs do this well as we have seen in the cities and in D.C. with crowds of people for their agendas. It is a shame. The things you did good, you warped it. For the people who pull the strings love power and money over the good of the nation.

 

[ColonelAngus]

If you do not want women to be required to register for the selective service and get drafted to fight in war, YOU HATE WOMEN.

WHY DO YOU HATE WOMEN? You are also racist Nazis.

Women do get equal pay .. that's just a left-wing myth

Is that what some rightwinger told you?

All serious studies show that women do not get equal pay.

You do realize this misleading characterization is calculated on the total raw earnings of men and women, right? When you contextualize the pay for men and women, there are a few factors the 'pay gap' narrative doesn't account for including the types of jobs men and women choose in their career path and the number of hours typically worked.

So yes, this gender pay gap is just that .. a myth.

...you ought to read what you quote.

Same job, same qualifications, women overall get paid less. Especially in these jobs:

The way to address what I'm posting is not to parrot same baseless assertions, but to post actual RESEARCH DATA that you think contradicts that women get paid less.

I assumed you were intelligent enough to use the Bureau of Labor Statistics .. and you proved me wrong. Well, I did. Notice what the Bureau of Labor Statistics notates in the findings:

These comparisons of earnings are on a broad level and do not control for many factors that may be important in explaining earnings differences.

Guess what 'many factors' portion indicates 'that may be important in explaining earning differences?' That would be education, hours worked, etc. that I referenced. A man working a management role with a Master's Degree will most likely make more than a female working a manager role with a Bachelor Degree ... or that a man working an hourly job often works more hours than a female. Again, it's using the raw numbers ('broad level' from BLS) to calculate earnings and averaging them.

You, and everyone else that uses this stupid talking point, is focused at the macro level without any consideration nor motivation to understand why there is a difference.

Women can do anything men can do.

Complete double standard.

Your thread is one gigantic non sequitur logical fallacy . Your premise -the fact that women no not need to register for the draft – does not support the conclusion the conclusion that they are opposed to doing so. The fact is that you have no way of knowing what a survey of women would reveal about this particular non issue.

Keep in mind that it is largely men who make the rules, regulations, policies and laws .It has always been men who put restrictions on women

In addition, women had a very limited role in the military when the draft was enacted and still had a limited role when it ended, and few people have given much thought to this matter since then

Finally, you seem to be confused about the difference between equity and equality. This is actually an equality issue because if women were required to register, they would in fact be treated equally. Equity might come into play if they were actually drafted in matters such as physical strength or pregnancy- but you were not really thinking about that when you posed your inane question

No, you just saw an opportunity to raise a question about equity and suggest that women are hypocrites , for something that they are not responsible for .

Conclusion: You thread is poorly conceived codswallop

No, guy, I say that because you type out some of the most deranged stuff I see on this board.

LIke the above.

The CONTROLED pay data you've quoted is not from BLS and it is specifically adjusted for position and experience, so NOTHING you've just said actually addressed my post.

Payscale’s annual Gender Pay Gap Report (GPGR) reveals how much women are paid compared to men according to our Employee Reported Data (ERD). It analyzes both the uncontrolled and controlled pay gaps with data cuts by parent status, job-seeking status, remote work status, education, age, race, job level, industry, occupation, and location, as well as the top jobs where the gender pay gap is widest — even when all pay factors are controlled.

Probably not a good idea to be shitting your pants in public if you are going to question someone's intelligence.
