Wait...
Am I the only one who thinks the anti feminist argument that women don’t deserve rights because they aren’t required to register for the draft is stupid.
America hasn’t had a draft in a generation, it is the military and conservatives that have actively tried to keep women out of combat roles in the military, and with the high level of automation and technology in today’s world men’s increased physical strength is less and less important.
And that’s ignoring the fact that the guys who typically make this argument haven’t served in the military a day in their life, they want to take credit for the deeds of braver men and use it as a reason to subjugate women to lesser status
We are in the midst of the longest war in history and no one has ever seriously even entertained the idea of a draft, and we’re likely to never have one again
It´s not only in draft, but in conscription aswell. If you take most nations that have mandatory conscription, its for men only (some countries accept volunteering females). But saying that because of that women should have less rights is absolute bullshit. And I dont think its only conservatives who try to keep women out of combat zones, its generally everybody. BUT, saying that in todays world, men´s increased physical strenght is less important, is also bullshit. 100 years ago, all that a soldier might have was a hat (or a helmet) a backpack, rifle and clothing. Today its much much more, and looking at the places where soldiers are usually deployed nowadays, they are deserts, very hot places and very anti-female.
Yeah, but today an active duty member of the air force can fly a drone anywhere in the world from Las Vegas
Weapons in ships are reloaded by machines, not requiring the physical strength to pick up the shells. We may not be as suited for grunt work on the ground but that’s less important now than ever especially when we aren’t fighting wars where we take and hold territory
@Deleted User u ignored the NET tax part
not to mention the draft is always a possiblaty
im sure the men drafted into nam didnt think it would happen till it did
voting gives you power over choosing who u go to war with if at all
why give women that power if they wont fight the war or pay for it
thats not fair
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So you’re saying women don’t pay taxes now.... then who is taking half my check? Sounds like your real problem is with the draft, here’s an idea, the vast majority of us policy makers are men, have them eliminate the draft or include women in it, oh wait, the draft isn’t really the issue, you just want to put your boot on the neck of women and keep them down
Also the United States hasn’t declared war in 77 years so voting has little to no impact on where the military is actually sent
but... them policy makers must be voted to their positions... and women vote... so uhh... vote women?
I do vote for women
```Also the United States hasn’t declared war in 77 years``` declaring doesent mean no war
*cough Korea, Nam, Iraq etc...
I could go on and on
and whats the deal with wester women always saying stuff like that? <:VoteDown:495273606360727582> <:VoteDown:495273606360727582> ``` you just want to put your boot on the neck of women and keep them down```
it does
Most of those wars were unpopular and done against the wishes of the people
yet, the policy makers who endorse these wars, were voted by these people
And if people, including women had to vote for them we would vote against them
The fact remains that a women is much less likely to vote to send the country to war than a man
thats usually because women want "peace and harmony"
How evil right?
*a stereotype, yes. but a common one*
Wanting to spend our capital on making a better world, increasing our own prosperity not blowing people up
I bet women back when N-Korea went after S-korea wanted peace, but NOOOO, evil men wanted WAAAAAAR <:haHAA:414150137238126592>
```Wanting to spend our capital on making a better world, increasing our own prosperity not blowing people up``` say that to the other guy(s)
@Deleted User no i said NET tat
NET
do you know what net tax means ?
I speak no ´murican, what is dis
```Net of tax is the amount after adjusting for the effects of income tax. Net of tax is most commonly calculated by taking gross figures, like the cash collected from the sale of an asset, and subtracting the taxes paid. Net of tax could also be used to show the final amount after accounting for the tax savings, for example, on a loss that allows a tax deduction.``` thats what google tells me
so... its the money that already has taxes deducted from it?
thats usually because women want "peace and harmony" —- citation needed
ah?
China is up shit Creek.
The ladies do tend to be more pacifist than their male counter parts (however that maybe because vets are far more likely to vote for war than not civilians.)
