The N.O.W. Gang will be yelling and screaming at Congress. They didn’t pass equal rights.

BS Steny Hoyer!

America does not need nor should it subject its vulnerable young women to combat roles for any reason!

Under Obama guidelines, does a male who identifies as a female have to register for the draft?

So, women get the same pay in the military, the same jobs, the same promotions but men 18 - 25 must register for “Selective Service” (Not a draft). If men fail to register for Selective Service they will feel the full wrath of the Federal Government. Men who fail to register are in violation of federal law, as such are not eligible for any federal benefits including but not limited to education loans. So, tell me again, if they have all the same benefits why do you NOT want women to register for selective service? A “draft” is a different thing altogether, and can exclude women if it came to a “draft.” The way I see it, but you want to be paid like the big dogs, you had better be ready to run with the big dogs. Women should be required to meet ALL of the same standards. For the record I have a 20 year old daughter so I have skin in the game.

The same that wants men.

Here’s an idea....let’s go back to Reagan’s 1980 campaign promise and just ELIMINATE the Selective Service System.

It’s nothing but a glorified mailing list anyhow. Reagan rightly pointed out it costs buckets of taxpayer money to staff and maintain, compiling lists of young men which, at the end of the day, are frankly of little value. (for one thing young males are highly mobile and not always easy to find, for another Congress is unlikely to ever have the guts to pull the trigger on a draft anyway).

Reagan got elected, and with the Evil Empire on the march I guess he thought better of the timing of killing it. But he was onto the right idea.

I’ve asked that many times.

All I get are white knights that proudly proclaim that they have no idea.

They call it equality for women. But women aren’t barred from voluntary joining the forces, they just aren’t forced to.
Just like the uproar over NC bathroom law, it doesn’t bar private business from any bathroom policy they want to have, it just doesn’t force them to have a trans policy.
What the left calls equality through gov’t force, I call freedom.

Thank you Lord. At least there are a few in WDC with a grain of sense.

I do. Because there’s no better way to put an end to this nonsense about women being equal to men than by making women equal to men!

“Buckling under conservative pressure, the Republican-led House Rules Committee pulled a legislative sleight of hand and stripped a provision from the annual defense policy bill that would have required women between the ages of 18 and 25 to sign up for a military draft.”

The GOP “buckled under pressure”. And it was placed in the defense bill by John McCain.

God I hate republicans.

“...”their members to a vote on equality for women, ..”

It is not a matter of equality. We are created men and women for a reason, for a purpose. Should men demand “equality” by forcing the government and society” by protesting and whining for not being able to bear children.

We are all equal in the eyes of God, and the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of justice.
