woman can't complain about equality until they have to sign their selective service cards just like men.

Feminists have their way, while our next generation of men fight and die for them every day...

You want ture equality? Then women should be expected to fight and die for their country just as much as men are. Especially if it comes down to conscription!

You know what's funny, In the U.S. military, men and women have different physical test and standards, men and women get paid the same of the same rank, but the females physical standards are much lower than the male's, now is it sexiest to give a man the same pay as a woman, but she, gets to have a significantly weaker physical standard? I was a Recon Marine by the way, so I can tell you that this is for all males in the military, not just the one's with combat orientated jobs.

@PimpernellP Nah....female logic.

[PimpernellP]

@zippy476 because the law is on their side. Assault of any kind when done to a woman is considered a cowardly act, yet when a woman injures or mutilates a man its considered funny. Strange logic.

@PimpernellP All things being equal why can I not beat the living shit out of a female like I would a male? I mean since they are supposedly just as big, strong, and fast....why not?

[PimpernellP]

@AnalyticalInsanity no, my position is that men are still put into situations that women would never be allowed near. Women enjoy vastly more protection throughout life that men dont get. In the past this "man protecting woman" mentality worked well, but, as time moved on, and women now are able to fend for themselves, the old style mentality still remains. Its a double standard. Just research a bit about mens rights and read what the guys are saying.

[AnalyticalInsanity]

@PimpernellP I think that in your opinion, men are equal, but unfortunately, die more often. Would that be correct?

[PimpernellP]

@AnalyticalInsanity I really cant put it more simply.

[AnalyticalInsanity]

@PimpernellP I am being completely honest with you when I say I don't. I know what I hope you mean...

[PimpernellP]

@AnalyticalInsanity I think you already know what I mean.
