I was/am a Marine. We’re all trained for combat and the entire branch of ~200,000 Marines can become combat fodder at the will of the DoD. The standards for men and women are not the same.
How in the fuck is a 5’4 120lb woman supposed to haul my 200lb ass (plus 40lb flak jacket, 10lb kevlar helmet and 8lb rifle) out of the fire?
Let me guess, this is another one of your uneducated arguments in which you have no stance other than to oppose the side which will give you more social credit score?
Its not.
A woman can vote for a war mongering candidate who states “we will draft all men upon my election”, with 0% chance of being drafted.
That’s fucking lunacy.
Thats ridiculous. A policy or law like that can’t be created in good faith.
Its like “
oops! What can you do? Hands are tied!”
No, not at all.
But I do think standards for nurses, secretaries, lawyers, paralegals or doctors should not be the same no matter their sex.
Edit: @Bauber stated this earlier and better.
Thats your full proposal.
Ability to be drafted is not the same thing as being enlisted.
Its a distinction without a difference for these purposes.
I was enlisted yet have never been drafted.
But go on…
Seems like (some) people only want the rights.
I wouldn’t call him uneducated; in fact, I think zecarlo was a marine as well.
Everyone wants the Rights but the don’t want the Lefts.
Freedoms aren’t free.
Yeah, I realized this slip up.
So, we have the warmongering president that women can vote for “with no skin in the game”.
He will 100% draft all men upon election.
So once they are drafted, they will be enlisted in which ever branch.
In your phantasmagoric dystopia, it is a distinction without a difference.
In the actual world the rest of us inhabit (reality as it exists currently) its a big difference.
But you’re also very conveniently playing jumprope with the line between actual (you were enlisted) and hypothetical.
So which space are you occupying at which point?
Can you no longer keep track?
I enlisted so others like you could have the right to vote. I take issue with how flippantly that right is used, and how willingly the very folks whom carry that right are willing to water it down with votes by those who have no skin in the game.
I think its unreasonable to allow folks to be able to vote for laws which will only affect others, yet that seems to be what is happening constantly. (Edited)
“Skin in the game” is one of my favorite silly phrases. Hey check it out, I bought a house, I mean more than you now.
Tell me you don’t own a house, without telling me you don’t own a house.
So did I you bragadocious dipshit.
As did every male in my family since our arrival on this continent.
As well as serving in all wars and times of war.
Stepping on your own dick again dude.
How educated do you think the average voter is?
Your desire for status over others is becoming pathological.
What town do you live in? Should i be able to come rent a 1 bed 1 bath for 6 months, claim it as permanent residence, and participate in your local election knowing I’ll be leaving soon and never come back?
Is it right or fair that I can sway an election to favor an outcome which will hurt the town’s main demographic, knowing i won’t be there to suffer the consequences?
