I couldn't find any threads on CI on this topic, and I wasn't sure where to put it. But here are several articles on the topic of the proposed military draft of women.

I Will Not Allow My Daughter To Be A Victim Of Gender Equality by Matt Walsh

Experimental Barbarism: Why Drafting Women is Wrong

Threats Of Drafting Women Reveal The Lies Of Equality

Why Drafting Women Would Be A Big Mistake- Republican candidates who want women to register for the military draft need to get a head check.

As a tie-in with the voting/politics threads, one article said:

Quote

Three candidates were exposed in the GOP debate Saturday night for falling for political correctness when they said women should be required to register with Selective Service, which means our daughters would be drafted along with our sons in time of war.

Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, and Chris Christie each supported registering our daughters when asked about recent changes in Department of Defense policy regarding women in combat. The other candidates were not asked their views, though Sen. Ted Cruz sent out a press release following the debate saying it is immoral to draft women.

And Matt Walsh said:

Quote

And, at that point, we’ll deserve our fate. Are we even worth defending if it means sending our daughters off to die? Well, maybe sending your daughter, anyway. Mine will not be sent anywhere. My daughter will not sign up for the draft, no matter what the government says. If this becomes law, I will break the law and do so proudly. I will not allow my daughter to be a part of this national disgrace, and if that means we must leave the United States altogether — good riddance. I honestly do not want to live in a country that uses its women as human shields.

Also curious, what would those of you who are parents do, or advise your daughters, in such a case?

I agree with saying "no" to drafting. I would even say "no" to volunteering. The wars we have are not holy wars. Then there are the no win wars.

I served 2 years as a Personnel Specialist and I did just to keep myself busy, age 18-20. I was ignorant and it was just a job to me. If I knew what I know now, I would have tried a job in civilian life.

marie teresa - I remember that moment in the debate too, and I was totally surprised. Women being drafted was news to me. I am not a news junkie, and had not heard that yet. But, I am completely against it.

So am I. I assume everyone on CathInfo would be. (One hopes.) Does anyone have thoughts on what to do if this comes about? Would you leave the country to prevent your daughters from being drafted? Would you just not have her register? Would you have her register, and hope she doesn't get drafted? Or would you go ahead and let her get drafted?

I know the possibility may seem remote right now, but hypothetically, what would you do?

What this means is that the state will be able to come and take a man's daughter or his wife from him and there is nothing he can do about it. It doesn't matter if there will be exceptions and deferals and what have you, the essential fact remains. They can take your daughter. They can take your wife. It means we are all property of the state.

I have been grumbling about this for some time but now, as it gets closer, I am more angry at my fellow American men who don't seem ot have a problem with this.

This is the logical consequence of the hyper-egalitarian, completely upside down, liberal nonsense of today. Thanks Feminists! This is what you have accomplished: a maddening social oblivion in a time of collective spiritual leprosy which only true Divine Intervention can help.

Combat is no place for women as soldiers. There is not better place for women than HOME; but feminists get offended by this line because they do not understand what home is nor perceive any value in it. They have been programmed to only see enslaving housework (as opposed to homemaking) as if going to an office all day to work for a boss would be somehow less enslaving!. They do not understand that home is actually a SACRED place of the highest dignity and it is the woman who can make it. Not only home is a physical place but in many ways woman IS home.

Do as the men did during vietnam time. Go to Canada, and don't register? Well, whether they do or not, they will be known, unless you give birth outside of a hospital and no one knows of your birth.

If women are doing any registering, it's entirely voluntary. There is no need for conscription anymore.

Our economy is so bad that we don't need a draft for men. They could always lower the testing score standards if it came down to it or accept more tier 2 applicants.

The fact is that the most exceptional female soldier would probably be comparable to the average male soldier. Females are 'not' built for physical strength or fighting, that's a biological fact.

In the modern age with weapons that can fire across great distances, and require only that you know how to aim and pull the trigger along with the proper maintenance procedures, it's made at least somewhat possible (not ideal or practical, but possible) for women to participate in war, as such weapons do not require you to clash with the physical strength for fighting prowess of an opponent, just that you know how to aim, change position, and take cover. However, before the invention of automatic rifles, it really showed just how inferior women were in combat. If a trained female soldier with a sword, charged a trained male soldier with a sword, she would get bisected in two seconds.

You still need to be able to carry gear and get to where you are going. No women have passed the marine infantry officer course even with extra training given to them before attempting it.
