DANGEROUS bill requiring all citizens 18-42yrs old to perform 'National Service'

I'm aware of why it is the way it is....just wonder why they don't change it. Have they even thought of changing it?

I have always been independent. I don't expect a man to do anything for me, but I certainly thank him when he does. I can open my own door, and even open doors for guys. I also pay for dinner sometimes, esp if its with someone I go out with on a regular basis. I can also mown the grass, split and stack wood, run electric where I want it, re-wire light fixtures, and so on and so forth. Oh ya, and I can shoot a deer, field dress it and have it in the freezer before you know what happened .

Unfortunately, there are many women who like to take advantage of their gender...but they are the same ones that bitch when they don't get treated equally.

VERY frustrating for me! When I was in the Navy, I would bust out any female that tried to use her gender to get over on work. PISSES ME OFF!

There is a double standard.
The selective service thing not including women is a throwback to chivalry. "Women and Children first" to the lifeboats and such.
I am all for equal rights, though there will never be equality in all things. Women are paid nearly the same as men and the glass ceiling is disappearing in many fields, however, it is still expected for a man to open the door for a lady (which I have no problem doing) and pay for dinner. I don't suspect social expectations of gender roles will change either; men will be the ones expected to fix the plumbing, the car, etc, where a woman filling those roles instead while the man is washing clothes will most likely always seem odd to most people.

Wow, you split and stack wood, mow the lawn, AND sometimes pay for dinner? You are a goddess!
I always thought it would be neat to have a girl that would like working on my car with me.

I've done that too. I was married to a motorhead for 14 yrs and grew up in a house with a father who raced cars and motorcycles. I learned to drive on a race track. My father made sure I could change oil, fan belts, etc.

Don't get me confused, however, I'm still all Lady....even when I have a weapon pointed at you telling you to get down .. or ELSE

I really liked what I was reading till I read the Navy bit. All for equality and all that, just don't like my ladies tougher than me.

No doubt. I'm too goofey for military service, and I have bad tourettes. Not a good combo.

LOL I didn't control my mouth all the time which is why I retired a Chief and not a Master Chief! OH WELL! Oh and that was NO baggin on the USN...

Now, I'm going to bed.

Have a good one all!
