A father’s absence doesn’t impact an infant like it does a mother’s.

Both are devastating to children.

Good men will die trying to protect women who have no business being there in the first place!

Yes, for real ,,, still some of us that believe women are to be protected, not put on the front line (or thereabouts).
I disagree.

If a man has to submit his personal information to the armed forces and be called into service in times of war or peace, under penalty of jail time, massive fines, blacklisting from job opportunities and being banned from getting a driver's license in over 20 states... equal protection insists that women be subject to the same indignity.

What the armed forces does with the women in their registration list is another issue altogether, but they should be required to register. The armed forces has uses for women that don't involve combat. If that's the concern, as it usually has been, it's a very weak one. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

There will likely never be another draft, so this is mostly just symbolic.

"Never?"  Do you have a crystal ball or something?

You always seem to be so sure of yourself, @Dexter.  This is not a positive personality attribute because it denies self-reflection.

OK, then pass a law to make all wars illegal.

I said likely never. Human soldiers will soon become much less relevant in modern warfare. If you think I'm not willing to put my own ideas under the microscope you couldn't be further from the truth. That's almost the entire reason why I come here.

Talk about unlikely!  Since you are impervious to arguments, I'd say you are only here to lecture us knuckle-draggers.

Try telling that to an experience Anthropologist.  Never mind, you'll just end up lecturing them, too.

Depends on the woman.  There are quite a few at the right-hand section of the Bell Curve for physical strength.  The problem with that is, the Feminists will demand the standards for physical fitness be lowered to allow a gal who's 5 foot 2 inches to serve in combat, so that's where I have to end up agreeing with your premise.

@Cyber Liberty

Physical standards for women have already been lowered for women in the armed services.  There’s a minority of women bodybuilders who are abnormally strong, largely due to steroid use.  But those don’t seem to be the ones who want in to the service.  It’s the ones with something to prove.

Thank you for proving my point for me.  And my previous point about a lack of self-reflection?  You prove that every day.  That last sentence is just a sop to help the knuckle-draggers swallow your BS.

I appreciate your intent here, but you gotta understand that outside of forums like this one your view of the world is constantly shoved down our throats. This place is a refuge.

Well when it comes to population we are. While men can procreate almost endlessly, women can’t and therefore a few more of us than men is a good thing.

Which makes this place a rich opportunity for a leftist to shove that crap down our throats.  A laboratory if you will.  It's like studying insects under a microscope.

Stop making sense.   :laugh:

That is why I think he should discuss this with an experienced Anthropologist.  Let him try to convince one that you are wrong.  (What you say is right there in Anthro 101:  Females must be preserved because of their role in maintaining the population of a species.)
