navyrn: I agree with you. I feel that if women want all the right I have, then they should have the same responsibility as I do. Don't get me right, I am not sexist, not at all. I just feel that this is wrong. Every American citizen has just as much ability and responsibility to spill their blood as I do.

<< As a male service member i am throwing this out... If our current state of affairs is pushing for women in the military doing all the same jobs as the men.. then why don't they push the 18 y.o. women to sign for selective service as well? Don't sling that "you sexist" card at me because i am in a all female dominated profession (granted the military has a 1:3 ratio while the civilian world has a 1:10). If they are good enough to reap all the benefits then they can share the blood shed as well.... right? >>


Its because all the feminist groups are insisting that women get all the "benefits" that men receive before they even consider accepting the responsibilities.

I feel if they want the benefits, they should first push for the responsibilities and then more people would be forced to accept the fact that women are equals. Thus the "benefits" would follow that way.
