    Sounds like military propaganda to scare the unwanted women away.

    Draft? Where did this come from? Who or what except this propaganda is talking about a reins uting the draft?

    registering for the draft is a formality now, it isn't being drafted.

    Federalist society is of course deeply, extremist conservative, so misogynist.

    This is what the drive for equality has opened up. Can't imagine my daughter having to sign up for the draft. Have they considered what will happen if a woman in combat is captured - well, women in combat is already a done deal, but the women's draft will follow.

    I'd like to vent on a pet peeve of mine. I'm a big tennis fan, and the drive for "equal work for equal pay" has resulted in the women's tennis field being paid the same as the men's tennis field at all 4 Grand Slam tournaments. However, the women only play best of 3 matches while the men play best of 5. This can result in a woman playing a possible 14 sets of tennis earning the same amount as a man playing a possible 35 sets of tennis. And this is not even counting in the fact that the men's tennis is more popular than women's tennis and therefore a better draw (fan wise). Grossly unfair.

    "they" the feminists? the women wanting to be in combat?

    US military women are already sexually abused, assaulted, raped by their military colleagues. Slaughter and rape are a major warrior benefits, even the objective, the compensation, for warriors on all sides, including Americans.

    I'm not sure about the men's being a much better draw. Women's matches have been generating comparable or better ratings in Grand Slam matches for awhile now.

    And what could happen to a man if he is captured in combat after he was drafted against his will? Is that somehow worse than what could happen to a woman?

    The military should be like the soldiers in the movie Soldier. That removes the whole situation. The soldiers would feel nothing so they would not be crippled by a female soldier being held hostage.

    The men's game has long-standing rivalries between Nole/Fed/Nadal. The women's game has Serena and everybody else (whoever happens to challenge her at a particular tournament). Huh? I'm not getting the second part. A woman is more likely to raped than a man if captured (in general) - nothing to do with the draft.

    the second part is simple. Once a soldier is captured, is what happens to them next somehow worse if it is a woman as opposed to a man?

    Huh? I'm not getting what you guys are asking. Don't you think that a woman captured is more likely to be raped than a man? It sounds like you think it's the opposite.

    I've also read concern about the lady who gets injured in battle, with an injury that requires removing her panties and/or bra, with a bunch of guys standing around.

    rape or the method of torture/beatings has little to do with the question. the question is whether or not it is worse because it is a woman.

    so, presumably in a combat scenario, the main concern for a battle injured female is soldiers standing around snickering? Not more pressing concerns for the actual battle in this hypothetical?

    No, it's not worse because it's a woman. Pain is pain. But I'm not for women being in combat in the first place and definitely not for women being drafted. If a woman wants to be in combat, sure go ahead but now it opens the can of worms of drafting all (appropriately-aged) women.

    the injured female might be removed from the actual battle, if the actual battle is still in progress.

    see, thinking is ing easy

    Well, if you're in some foxhole, where are you even going to get pads/tampons when you have your period much less changing them? Do they just walk around dripping?

    right so why would you be concerned about removing clothing if she can be removed from the scene?

    so it has nothing to do with "have they considered what might happen if a woman is captured", because we have determined "pain is pain". So you were just appealing to emotion there. got it.

    you don't want women in combat and definitely don't want women being drafted. But not because of the reasons you have listed so far.

    Women can get pregnant when raped. So they deliver and raise the baby while in captivity?

    it's not my problem, ask the combat women (a significant percentage of whom have already been verbally and/or sexually fondled, harassed, or raped by their male soldiers).

    so you don't want women in combat/draft because they could get pregnant via rape via capture? Ok.

    and these women were injured in battle and had clothing removed that lead to said incidents? Im not following your injured in battle scenario that leads to rape/sexual assault. We know there is a significant problem with sexual harassment/rape towards women in the military. Just not sure how battle injuries play in to that.
