So, you'd want some fat person who sits in an office all day who doesn't even know how to hold a gun to fight just because they make over 150k a year? :P
It's clear that you're either trolling again, or you legitimately don't understand how war works. Either way, I'll leave until you say something sensible.
I know you're a troll, but I just wanna chime in real quick. You say if rich white men want wars, their children should fight them? You can't choose your parents, and may disagree with them wanting war. Also, you explicitly state rich white guy. So rich black guys or rich white females are exempt from that or what? The irony here is that it is inequality on a post exposing inequality.
If a draft is mandatory, you have to go. Equality means everyone gets equal opportunities, so if you want men to be drafted but not women, you must not want equality
InB4 Trump blablabla.
North Korea has been nothing but saber rattling bluster for over 60 years. I'd be surprised if they actually did something.
Oh and Guam? Not worried. Refer to my previous comment on the state of their abilities. If they hit, it will have been a malfunction that caused it.
But come on, if everyone could chill that would be great. Think of what we could do if we weren't so busy fighting wars and being in arms races! *slams fist on table* I want to be able to get to Star Trek levels of space technology already damn it!
Ok I'm not defending her, but I think it means less of how you took it, that she didnt care until it affected women, I think she meant it more as until it began to affect her own children and family did she realize how wrong the process is
Well, here's the thing about it; feminists have been bitching and moaning about putting women into more and more combat roles in the military, calling it sexist that they weren't doing it in the first place and "women are strong, they can don't need a man to do it for them" and what have you. The natural progression of pushing women to be more and more active in combat roles would then be, when there are enough women in those positions, to have them sign for the draft, just as the men have to do. And you are right, because these people bitch and moan and complain about equality until they have to actually give up a legitimate privilege that they deny was even there in the first place.
i still don't think you totally understand what I'm proposing. I didn't read that as feminist or feminazi at all. I read it as a mother who didn't even consider the thought of sending her children to war until it directly affected her. Not because she doesnt care about boys or men, but because she just didn't have any. She didn't have a son so the thought of her children going to war never even crossed her mind. Now that she realizes her actual children will face this, she realizes what the mothers of sons go through and wants it stopped.
I kinda have to agree with Jensen considering she did say "I never gave the draft much thought being the mother of two girls" and also saying she "now realizes how much she opposes it" she didn't say she opposes girls being drafted, she said she opposes the draft, for both genders. I agree it is close minded to not think anything of the draft just because it doesn't directly affect you, but she realized that her children may have to go to war and realized that is the reality for anyone with a son. She's not opposed to her daughters being drafted but anyone being drafted.
Too bad all those arguments to get women to be allowed to volunteer, the same as men, apply equally to being drafted. If women can do anything men can do, then sorry folks, you lost the rationale for excluding them from the draft. There will be some who would be unfit, same as some men, but being embarrassed to go to the bathroom in front of others isn't going to get you out of it. You Wanted in, you're in ladies.

"Fuck equality, you'll have to pry this unearned privilege out of my cold, dead hands."
Sounds like the statement of someone who didn't understand the ramifications of equality to me.
