<p>In theory: yes/no… maybe women should be drafted, but I think they would optimize their abilities in non-combat roles.</p>
<p>In practice: Hell no! A draft is not the time to be politically correct to the extreme and such. It has very little to do with what one “wants.” A draft simply means that combat boots need to be filled as fast as possible with the best we have got and getting them to the front lines to fight and win a war. If you lose the war it’s not “aww… try again tomorrow!” It’s more like “damn… we may be wiped off the face of the Earth.” When a draft happens I don’t care who is happy. I care that we win while losing as little life as possible.</p>
<p>So you agree the mother is meant for the role of feeding and development in the relationship. A woman is there to raise the child and the man is there to make the woman’s life as easy as possible. That’s my take and well society’s take also. The reason I get up for women on the bus, or hold the door open for them, is simply to make their lives easier, because I believe they have harder lives with more responsibility.</p>
<p>If I divorce my wife and had children, I shouldn’t be paying half, I should be paying everything. She shouldn’t get half, she should get everything, minus the minimum i need to survive. Again there is a reason the law pretty much automatically gives the children to the mother. My point as I mentioned above holds.</p>
<p>So I would be 100% content giving up everything I have, because its my responsibility to the woman and to the children. I I married a woman and the child was hers, well again I am still responsible for it. </p>
<p>Listen lady nothing in my life gives me more pleasure than spoiling and treating them better than great. Maybe my mother raised me different than most, but that’s how I am. </p>
<p>I don’t think a male only draft is unfair. I’m a 20 something year old make and I am all for a all male draft. Why? Men are disposable, women are not. Its instinctual for men to want to protect women, and that’s the reason.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The entire point of a date, is for the male to put on his best performance as a potential lover, father and provider.</p>
<p>Maybe nature intended for women to raise children, but nature also intended us to live in caves and die in our forties. Men do not have gills and were not made to breathe underwater – yet we have scuba diving. Men do not have wings and were not made to fly – yet we have airplanes. Men do not have uteruses and were not made to give birth – yet a man can raise a child as well as a woman. The days are long gone when children needed their fathers to protect them from predators (NOT the sexual kind) and providing for the family no longer requires a male’s upper body strength. Welcome to the 21st century.</p>

<p>If we’ve reached the point where we need more pregnant females to increase our population faster, we have problems a draft won’t solve.</p>
<p>I can sort of see his point. Look at the end of World War I, for example, when several nations faced a severe shortage of men. Had the roles been reversed and women been in short supply, it is doubtful that Europe’s population would have rebounded as fast.</p>
<p>The thing is, we can picture such a scenario now, but we can’t really picture having the need for a draft now either. A draft now would have to be for a worst case scenario, in which a huge number of casualties are anticipated.</p>
