Draft Women?

Draft women? http://blog.rockthevote.com/2004/08/draft-women-concern-of-military-to.html

In this blog, everyone has an opinion, and they are all quite different. The initial premise is that, if we are called to another draft, it is highly likely that women will go for the first time. It has been brought up before, apparently, and the Supreme Court decided at the time to keep the draft the way it was. Because of the changing times and the desire to have equal rights on all fronts, it could happen this time around. It is definitely not a new idea or argument, just something that is resurfacing because we are at war. One woman blogger feels like men are forcing us to do more of their dirty work when we don't want to, and that men have always upheld war and it shouldn't be the females place to get dragged into their mess. Another says that equal rights requires that women be allowed to fight, and that it isn't right that they do not get the opportunity to serve as the men do. Someone else thinks that women are equally as violent as men, but that they are cowards and want the guys to do all the hard stuff. Some women openly state that men really ARE superior and that they want no part, and a man replied by saying, "like it or not, equal rights are coming at you, and you need to also accept the responsibilities." Part of the problem seems to be that women want equality to a certain point but then pick and choose on the hard stuff. When its something they don't want, they fall back on those things being a man's responsibility. That seems to be what guys have a problem with in this situation, whether they are for or against women's involvement.

Man, everyone voices their emotion more than anything. Not a lot of logic or reasoning, just feelings.
