This regulation simplifies the process by\u200b automatically \u2063registering both genders with the Selective Service upon \u2064reaching age 18, thereby \u200deliminating the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/knowles-how-the-looters-got-away-with-it\/\" title=\"KNOWLES: How The Looters Got Away With It\">potential legal consequences<\/a> of failing to register manually.<\/p>\n<p>The inclusion of women in the draft is controversial. Despite a societal tilt towards feminism,\u2063 there\u200d is considerable resistance among women, particularly younger women,\u2063 against being drafted. Data shows that only 40% of \u200cwomen under 30 support drafting women, compared to higher percentages among older women and men\u2064 of various \u2063age groups.<\/p>\n<p>Criticism of drafting women stems from arguments concerning the physical discrepancies between men and women, \u2064with claims that women are \u2064less \u2062capable of handling the physical demands of combat, which could <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-air-force-nominees-pride-antics-prove-leftists-have-ideologically-captured-the-military\/\" title=\"Biden's Air Force nominee's actions show leftists' influence on the military\">compromise military effectiveness<\/a> and increase casualties. Additionally, concerns are raised about\u200d the negative impacts of military life on women, particularly regarding pregnancy and\u2062 sexual health,\u200d which can affect unit readiness and cohesion.<\/p>\n<p>The\u200b opposition also includes moral and natural rights arguments, suggesting that drafting women contradicts traditional roles ascribed to gender, where men are typically viewed as protectors. Some argue that the policy coerces women into roles that are unnatural and potentially harmful, both physically and ethically. The debate extends into the broader implications of military service on societal \u2064and family dynamics, particularly when women are mothers.<\/p>\n<p>while\u200b the provision to draft\u200c women aims to establish gender equality in military obligations, it garners divided opinions and highlights \u200dbroader societal debates about gender roles,\u200d rights, and responsibilities.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-content\">\n<p>This year\u2019s reauthorization of U.S. military spending <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RealPatrickWebb\/status\/1801759978602082478\">includes <\/a>a provision registering women for the draft when they turn 18, same as men.

Men and women are different, and part of that difference is that female bodies poorly sustain combat-level stress. Even ripped women are physically inferior to average men, and female soldiers are much more likely to get and stay injured, damaging the readiness and lethality of their units. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2016\/09\/29\/obama-defends-allowing-women-to-serve-in-combat-jobs\/\">means <\/a>more U.S. soldiers dead and injured because of sexual politics.<\/p>\n<p>On top of all this is the fact that putting women in the military also increases pregnancy and STD rates, which also damages unit readiness because pregnant women are lost to their command for a significant time. Units train together and need every member to function at peak, so losing one person affects all the rest. Not to mention that it\u2019s terrible for the baby \u2014 and the mother! \u2014 for mom to have to return to full-time military duty just weeks after giving birth. <\/p>\n<p>Women and combat should only combine in foreign invasion scenarios, not as the routine order of military operation. Women do not make good soldiers, and a humane country would never force women into combat duty.<\/p>\n<p>But the people leading our society don\u2019t care about any of this. Women have been approved for combat positions in the U.S. military since the Obama administration. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-e0839f7e8e7ff28d95f3b58b9203b1c4 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-6\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-e0839f7e8e7ff28d95f3b58b9203b1c4\"><\/div>\n<p>My daughters will be conscientious objectors if they are ever drafted because of our religious and natural rights convictions that men are the God-designed protectors of their homes and nation and it\u2019s a violation of nature and its Creator for women to be soldiers. That said, drafting women is also absolutely consonant with women voting.<\/p>\n<p>In the Founders\u2019 era, every voter was required to join in local and national self-defense. That\u2019s a big part of the reason that only men voted at the time (so no, it wasn\u2019t \u201cthe Founders were wicked, sexist, KKK,\u201d like you\u2019ve been told). Voting is not a natural right, it is a civil right; which means people\u2019s rights can be protected even if they don\u2019t vote. Women didn\u2019t need to vote to have their natural rights secured, because the laws and institutions of the country protected those rights from the country\u2019s creation, through the state and national constitutions and other organic laws that superseded all others.<\/p>\n<p>Voting was for people with literal skin in the game. Those who voted also had to serve on juries, own property, join the local fire brigade, be commandeered into a posse at any time, and join the militia any time required (which was often). Voting rights did not vest at simply staying alive for 18 years; they were <em>earned <\/em>through securing the community against violence by not infrequently risking the voter\u2019s own life.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, voting was considered a household act. As heads of their households, the fathers usually exercised that privilege, but so did widows who were heads of their households. Women voted through the representation of their husbands, brothers, and sons, just like their husbands, brothers, and sons were in turn represented by those they elected to the state and national legislatures and executives. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-f4ca028d46de3ed02a46cb41793f172d fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-10\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-f4ca028d46de3ed02a46cb41793f172d\"><\/div>\n<p>That\u2019s how republican government works \u2014 through representation, not direct democracy. The Founders knew direct democracy really means mob government, and they didn\u2019t want that, because it breeds chaos and state-sponsored looting through wealth redistribution. <\/p>\n<p>Not imposing voting duties on women was humane because it\u2019s inhumane to ask a nursing mother to serve on jury duty when her baby doesn\u2019t take a bottle, a position I\u2019ve been in twice. It\u2019s inhumane to ask a young woman to carry a rucksack that crumbles her knee joints at twice the rate of a man\u2019s. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s inhumane for a woman to give birth and then leave her baby for full-time physical labor just six weeks later. It\u2019s inhumane to place a young woman in a foxhole with a young man for days, where they defecate and bake in the sun and are susceptible to barbarians who routinely rape female captives. Not asking young, child-bearing-age women to assume the physical defense responsibilities required to earn voting privileges was not sexism, it was magnanimity. <\/p>\n<p>But American women have rejected this magnanimity. For about a century, those speaking for them have demanded that our government make women do everything men do. Well, this is a package deal. It\u2019s not fair for women to get the same privileges as men without also executing the same responsibilities. If women want to vote and be treated in every way by our government as if they are actually men, that includes being subject to the draft. <\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t like it, ladies, how about start embracing your womanhood instead of continuing to insist everyone treat you like men? <\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-1aade53b28538b7d9918ec2bfe366047 fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-1aade53b28538b7d9918ec2bfe366047\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">    \t\t\t\t\t   \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year&#8217;s U.S. military spending reauthorization mandates that women, like men, register for the draft at 18.
