Do you think the draft should include women?

Though the draft probably should be done away with all together, if it is there women should be included seeing as, well, we'd like to be equal. You can't really be equal in voting rights and jobs, but then not want to be in the draft.

Though, personally, if women were in the draft and I were drafted I'd probably leave the country being the hippie I am. Lol.

Please, discuss.

Yes, the draft should be all-inclusive, but should only be enacted in dire need. I don't like the draft, I don't support a Vietnam-like draft because it was an optional and contreversial war. I do support WWII-like drafts, where the U.S. does need to step in. But, coming from Israel, I guess it doesn't really matter.

Well, I could definatly see Isreal needing a draft seeing as it's located in a major war zone, which is very sad. Isn't the draft in Isreal for both men and women? Like you have to join the military when you finish school.

I believe in other countries serving a military term is required for all citizens. Seems the U.S. used to be the pioneer in civil rights, but now we're falling quite far behind, compared to other countries.

Yep. I don't think we should have a draft in the first place - unless it gets to the point where it's absolutely necessary - but I think all able-bodied people of age should be included.

this is probably the only thing i must disagree on, we need women to contiue on the human race less of them means less people....*thinking*... oh wait, that would be a good thing, because, there are to many people in mesa arizona, and it gets worse when snow birds (people who come here only when it gets to cold where they live during the winter and they come here for the slightly higehr temperatures)come to town gonk

Well we couldn't very well carry on with the human race with out any sperm... so I'm afraid that I'm not really following you on that.

As for a draft? Well obviously both sexes should have to get drafted. How in the world would that be fair otherwise? But it doesn't really matter what we think anyways, because if there is a draft, women are included as well. its actually very scary, there aren't any real expemtions this time round. If you're in college, and you get drafted, you get to finish your semester and then off to war you go. War is a disgusting thing, and the idea of forcing people to go off and fight a war for somebody else is very disturbing.

So what? Somewhere along the line there needs to be a man involved to get a woman pregnant. It takes two equal parties to make a baby so don't weigh one gender over another. Doing so isn't how we feminists work.

You still need sperm and that requires a man. Just because the baby develops in the womb does not devalue the contribution men make to making a child.

uh, the donated sperm can last a few months, the girls are the main ingredient to making human kind sweatdrop

And after those few months then where would women be without a man? Women are not superior just because the baby is born in the womb.

women are the only people with the natural body atonomy for baby development, men donate sperm woman can make, but if only men are left the human race would die as of then
