Feel the Draft

Demands for shared pain and gender-neutral conscription. Also: On reading Judith Regan's letter. Parkinson's humor. Jimmy Carter's special appearance. Plus more.

I want to draft your daughters too!!

If women want full equality, they should bear equal responsibility. Making men register for selective service but not women is blatantly unconstitutional.

Why should Johnny be forced into military service but Janey doesn't even have to register? Discrimination to the extreme.

We hear the feminists screaming about the "male dominated" society yet get a pass at military service. If men only are required to serve, then there must be built-in advantages that they receive under the law that women will not receive. Preferences in hiring or an extra vote or higher pension benefits perhaps.

The biological argument is nonsense as many women do not plan for families until they are in their 30s.
