Selective Service

Why is it called “selective”? Whoever named it probably also named DPRK.

Because 'equality' is a lie.

Because of Female Privilege

Because Congress considered equally requiring women to register but decided not to, making emotional, gynocentric arguments rather than any rational reasons.

Because "women weak" or something

It comes from a time when war was much more taxing than it is now. Physically. Pragmatism and survival immediately usurp ideas about equality so only men were (still are) conscripted. The right to vote was offered by the state as negotiation for registration in the selective service. Citizens earned the right to vote, states knew they had a military they could draw on during an emergency. Feminism eventually argued women should have the right to vote, but left out the part about military service that men were obligated to provide.

I think women should have to sign up too.

If you lose most of your male stock, you can always use someone else’s

In considering whether to include women in the selective service, Congress concluded that it would demoralize the nation to see mothers and daughters shipped away to fight, while some men stayed back at home. Male disposability.

Excellent example of systemic sexism against men.

CrowMagpie · 2024-05-09T20:32:37+00:00

Have you posted this to a feminist group to see how they react?

Women in general are not competent warriors.

Ill-Vacation-4219 · 2024-05-09T23:23:13+00:00

Because women are not suited for general infantry lol. It sucks but there is a difference bewteen men and women and women. Also women are much more likely to get raped or harassed.

"An Air Force test for lifting 110 pounds was passed by 68 percent of men and 1 percent of women."

So everyone knows there is certain things women can't do, fighting wars is one of them. Shit 50% of men can't do it either. At the end of the day it is a failsafe to raise a standing army, God help us if it is ever needed.
