I just wanted an honest opinion. There was no reason to delete the post. Sigh. I guess we're on our own. I think neither gender should be forced into a situation they don't want to be in. But, if forced, both genders should participate equally.

oreverthrowaway · 2020-01-04T20:41:17+00:00

Women don’t want equality, they only want special treatment.

Haha! im going to post this verbatim on AW and see what happens. Lets see how many time we can post it.

Oncefa2 · 2020-01-04T22:45:33+00:00

It's really not an agenda, just an honest question.

I'm actually curious myself what their answers would be. And not because I want to talk politics or equality or anything. I'm genuinely interested in their point of view.

Maybe you could try askreddit or something.

BrandonCole84 · 2020-01-05T13:13:28+00:00

Ask women is the most ridiculously unreasonable sub i have come across on reddit. They would remove anything that challenges their gender. Period.

Doogie76 · 2020-01-04T20:15:30+00:00

I identify as a woman so no draft for me. Problem solved

Gloworm02 · 2020-01-05T00:19:04+00:00

Well they’re not a debate sub what do you expect?

zeerust2000 · 2020-01-05T10:57:27+00:00

"Soapboxing"? I love the way feminists invent special words to shut down anyone they don't like without, apparently, any need to explain further. Because you're doing a thing that has a word for it so it must be serious and stuff. Mansplaining, Whataboutism, etc.. And by 'love it' I mean I hate it.

Empress_Rach · 2020-01-05T11:55:36+00:00

I say out them in. There is more space for women now. Tech jobs and shit. It's basically an everyone job now.

I'd be in the science division sine I'm a bioengineer

blank_stare_shrug · 2020-01-05T06:25:22+00:00

The question was banned for two reasons.

A) The way you framed the question with sentences 5 and 6. Women do participate equally, where the physical requirements allow them to. If that reply came up in the comments, then you could have asked what was different or whatever.

B) They looked at your post history and assumed that you were "looking for a fight". Maybe you really were trying to understand the opinion of women, but the way you asked the question, again, made it sound like you weren't gathering information, but going to poke holes in feminist and matriarchal theories of power and privilege.

Tomgirl17 · 2020-01-05T07:03:25+00:00

try going to the regular askreddit

youhavebeenwobbled · 2020-01-05T16:59:35+00:00

I reposted that question out of curiosity just now. I think it’ll get removed too but I’m interested to see if anyone answers

Nillix · 2020-01-05T17:13:31+00:00

The reason the post keeps getting removed is because it’s already been asked. A lot. Try the search bar. It’s not the “gotcha” question you all seem to think. Even the National Organization for Women supports a gender-blind draft.

littlepaperfolk · 2020-01-05T23:13:57+00:00

As do I. And, like I said, if the Trump administration wants to force conscription on US citizens, it will. If he wants it to be gender free, and no-one but the frail, the octogenarians, the under 16s, sitting out, it too will happen and there wont be much the everyday citizen will be able to do about it, save running to the borders.

Buchwild · 2020-01-05T08:31:46+00:00

Seems like a legitimate question, I wonder why they deleted it

Pioustarcraft · 2020-01-05T07:59:56+00:00

your question is badly asked to be honest, no offence...
"Women who fight for equality, should women be drafted like men if WW3 started tomorrow ?"
That would have not been deleted

SharedRegime · 2020-01-05T04:10:17+00:00

AHAHA removed for pushing an agenda holy fuck that is HILARIOUS.

1LegendaryWombat · 2020-01-05T04:25:26+00:00

A personal agenda? It was a question. And not even one of those weirdly phrased questions.

Learning their justification on it might be a good idea. But I guess the mods are like most mods today, especially feminist leaning ones, which is to say, generally petty, echo chamber enforcers.

ThreeLF · 2020-01-05T13:12:03+00:00

Im sure you didn't mean for it to be, but that question was a guided question. The phrasing potentially discourages certain individuals from answering, and also manipulates the direction of the discussion prior to any contributions.

I didn't remove your post (obviously), but if you had just simply asked "How would you feel about women being included in selective service?" I'm sure it would have been fine. The way your question was phrased is adversarial at best.

I'm a woman. My honest opinion is I would feel much more comfortable entering the military under these conditions:

No coed army. A female army and a male army. I get the impression that sexual harassment is rampant.
Or instead maybe a 50/50 male and female army. I believe sexual abuse would be less if the demographics were equal.
Maybe they changed it, but last I heard the way someone complains about sexual abuse is to report it to their direct supervisor. Problem is from stories that I've heard, the one abusing them was their direct supervisor.
I heard they make women shower together. Why?? No.
I heard they make you carry 80 lb packs all day. Can't. I can at most to do 60 lbs. Even that sounds like a nightmare even. Especially if I have to do it for a long time. I'm 5'6" not that even that petite.
I heard from an ex Marine woman that being in the front lines made her have PCOS. Half of the women who have PCOS get it from hashimoto's autoimmune disease. But, the other half has more variables. PCOS is the number one cause of infertility in women. Turns out, when women do very intense male work, their body starts creating more masculine hormones according to this female Marine soldier. Being in the military made her infertile. I don't know if it's permanent. She also said she was in better shape than most women, but her body had a really hard time with it. Women aren't built for being in the front lines most of the time.

And this equality thing. You can't have children. We don't complain, you should grow a fetus in you.

I don't want equality for things I can't do. Just that I can do. Problem is with sexism, how will you know the difference between the two of you don't let them try without bias? Study bias studies. People have a hard time being objective. More than you think they do.

JonSnowsGhost · 2020-01-05T04:39:53+00:00

Am I the only one that knows the draft hasn’t existed in decades? I just don’t get this entire premise of discussing something happening that won’t.

littlepaperfolk · 2020-01-05T07:45:48+00:00

I believe that people who join the military voluntarily get to fight first. When they are all dead, send everyone...women, men and children 12 and up. Transgendered folk too, even though the US president has banned them from military service. But, given that the next big war will be WW3, why not just set off all the nukes we have? That would be a quick and easy death for humanity and no one would have to gimp across the battlefields wielding cumbersome weapons and looking like lame-assed G.I. Joes😂
