Should women be eligible for draft?

I prefer to have the draft abolished entirely since I consider it to be a violation of personal autonomy. Extending the draft to women would just be extending the suffering.

But if there had to be a draft, I agree that women should be eligible for it.

NOTE: On Twitter, the general consensus among women replying to this is "NO, WE ARE WEAKER THAN MEN!".

I mean, I thought the "equal rights" meme was just men and women messing with each other, but some of them are actually REALLY opposed to it.

The draft is generally a terrible idea for our time, and will be more and more, with the needs of war going from supremacy in numbers to supremacy in technology. Should it be maintained, yes women should be included, but it would be better for everyone to just get rid of it.

With modern equipment, a trained voluntary professional is much better than a barely trained conscripts here against his will.

Studies of historical records have shown that most conscripts didn't shoot their guns, iirc, in old times.

I mean the challenge is that a multigenerational war of attrition is a major factor.

In that scenario, yeah, you want your women to hang back anx birth as many children as possible so you have soldiers again 20 years from now.

The problem is firstly, that this is a feudal mindset. Human lives belonging not to individuals but to a nation, to be spent at the whim of the elite.

That's not how our society and civilization aims to function anymore.

Secondly, multigenerational conflicts are fuckin terrible and less and less frequent.

So no, because a) no one should be and b) that's not how the world works in our era anyway

I don’t think the draft should exist at all. But if it has to exist, I do think women should be eligible. Maybe not on the front lines given that women on average are physically weaker than men, but perhaps for medical roles or similar things.

I suggest we make the draft women-only.

Women, being the main beneficiaries of society need to step-up and earn their privilege.

If men are, then so should women.

But better would be to not have a draft at all.
