women have never been called to arms much the way men have here in the united states. they don't have to sign up for the selective service, wherein all men must register for a draft in the event of war. this bill changes that.

to oppose this would appear to oppose gender equality

EDIT: for those of you confused by my casual use of "draft," I'm aware the actual draft is no longer in use. selective service is colloquially referred to as the draft and I can't fit "selective service" in the title so it will remain "the draft"

i could of sworn the government isnt allowed to call people to arms

EDIT: ah yes the military is all volunteer

I'm all for it so we can cart off the worst of the feminists to the battlefield.

They wanted 'equality' so they got equality

the thing is, women won't be drafted. Can you imagine the meltdown of some of these women when they're being trained assuming we someday need to be drafted.

I'm not saying all women are weak by any means. They could kick my ass, but there's a reason men have been dominant since the beginning of time lol.

There is already females complaining this bill is loveist.

yeah in 1927

"In 1972, it passed both houses of Congress and was submitted to the state legislatures for ratification. It seemed headed for quick approval until Phyllis Schlafly mobilized conservative women in opposition, arguing that the ERA would disadvantage housewives.

Congress had set a ratification deadline of March 22, 1979. Through 1977, the amendment received 35 of the necessary 38 state ratifications. Five states later rescinded their ratifications before the 1979 deadline. In 1978, a joint resolution of Congress extended the ratification deadline to June 30, 1982, but no further states ratified the amendment and it died. Several organizations continue to work for the adoption of the ERA."

in any case my point is that what happened with this will probably happen here. People only believe in 'equality' if it means they get only benefits.

[Lord Tony®]

If females want to be equal they need to inject themselves with testosterone if they want a chance to compete with us.

The draft doesn't exist anymore.

This is for the Selective Service.

[Red Spy]

Studies show mixed units of men and women don't preform as well as all men units

I got a source too

I thought it worked;
You sign up with selective service, and then if there is a draft, you're (possibly) drafted?
