Men-only drafts are okay

In Rostker v. Goldberg, SCOTUS ruled that since women were ineligible to serve in combat positions, the all-male draft was constitutional. The Obama administration opened up combat positions to women, so now there's a court case winding its way through the courts.

We gave them plenty of time. We figured, okay, there are some issues feminists want to resolve. That's fine. But in the back of our minds we always figured they would get to the legal stuff eventually. To the draft issue. Equality means equality, period. We gave them the benefit of the doubt thinking they would eventually get to this stuff. And yet, here we are, a decade later, and it's still considered discrimination to even suggest that women be held accountable in the same manner that a man is. Hence, feminism cannot and will not be taken seriously until they address those matters. Plain and simple. They've reached their capacity for everything else. And until they address legal, financial, and social matters such as the draft, they will not be taken seriously.

The previous supreme court case that ruled women could be exempted from the draft because they couldn't serve in combat roles was 100% political theater. Most wartime military roles are non combat by a factor of 400% or more, and there's no argument possible that women couldn't fill some of those roles.

The Rostker v. Goldberg ruling was the court winking at the US constitution and ruling "we just don't want to draft women".

Men-only drafts are accepted*

Only changes if a boat load of people start complaining.

Like they would if say, I dunno, people started getting f****** drafted.

A mostly-male military or draft makes sense. Men are physically stronger, can carry more weight, are more likely to follow through with instructions/orders, and in the case of a multigenerational war whereby you have 100 years of young men being drafted, fighting for a few years, then going home to reproduce you NEED the women at home having babies to ensure you have enough soldiers. You'll only need a few men successful enough in war to come home and have sex to make lots of babies.

Protecting our society is our rightful burden, just like women are biologically obligated to be mothers. Right now, nobody is forced to do either of those things because we are able to live in a society with a few small degrees of freedom, but the day may come when we aren't so lucky.
