Alright ladies, here comes your equality!

The military isn’t an equal opportunity employer. Able bodied men who send women to die in their place are cowards. Women are more likely to miss shots, be injured, fail to evac another soldier or get fatigued AKA more likely to die or get others killed.

Ok all you fair is fair” people when the wage gap is completely ELIMINATED then I’m all for equal rights and signing up for the draft. But given men are making at least 30 percent more than women doing the same jobs with less education and experience tells me this is crap!!

I'm ready

Great so happy my daughter may one day be drafted.

It wasn’t discrimination back when most women stayed home and raised children. Times have changed, draftthe radical feminists first. As a woman I would love to see them learn some respect for our Country and our men. feminists feminizm metoo

Good it is about time.

It makes me laugh people saying: 'well, fair is fair'. These would be the first people to crap themselves if drafted. No, the vast majority of women shouldn't be fighting against bigger, faster and stronger men. It's ideological insanity. There's a reason sports are segregated.

The Air Force sent us to Iraq on a skeleton crew. They wouldn't let Tara Abdalla deploy because of her last name being Muslim. We had guns clips & no ammo in a combat zone.

This is great. Why should over half of America's citizens be robbed of the privilege of signing up for selective service based on their gender? That's sexist.

We were told years ago when they let women into the service that they will NEVER draft our daughters. AGAIN WE WERE LIED TOO. Anyone who supports drafting a woman is an antinomian ass.

Finally!!!! Equality! Now the selective service card can be a first step towards voter ID.

Hmmm... interesting 🤔

Once combat jobs opened up, this had to happen. Draft is unlikely to ever happen, so kind of a hollow action imho. To the base point, if you are physical and mentally capable to do the job, you should be allowed.

So they will be registering for selective service? About time.

Lemme guess 9th circuit?

As long as they're held to the same physical standards, go for it.

Of course they should have to sign up. Every time the issue arises in quickly disappears.

Fair is fair. Females should have to register for the draft, too. You can’t say you are for equality if you do not agree with this.

MalePsychology Two main reasons women haven't served in combat in historical past: upper body strength and emotional overreaction from fellow male soldiers regarding reckless self sacrifice and easier information gathering from torture.

The devils always in the details...

Nope. Not equal

Especially since there has not been any fighting since 1946.

Gynocentrism Welcome to the world of equality ladies, personally I believe Selective service should be abolished and it should have happened a long time ago. With this judgement I can now see that happening, if however it doesn't America needs to be prepared to draftyourdaughters

Equality at last and it only took 100 years. Finally women have responsibility of fighting and dying for their country forced onto them in exchange for the right to vote, just like men.

So does this mean that women are ok to serve on battleships and submarines now?

It took a judge? I've ALWAYS known women can fight and (always) win. I've been married long enough :-)

I, for one, am stoked to serve up some equality to the ladies. Ready to die? Nobody get cares. Get your gear on and stop crying. You asked for this.

No they are not.

Omg, such equal rights thinking, so don't let an originialist Supreme Court Justice near this one.

Women served in combat for years but we still not equal. Period dot com!

No offense, but, bullshit.

🤔idk bout that chief...I don't think we r ready2c the equality of young men&women drafted in2the military. I had some issue w/us on the front lines. Equality doesn't have2b literal n every sense...does it? Seein several dead18yr.-21yr. old females is a pic the US isn't ready2c.

2/2...I don’t have a problem with women serving in military or in law enforcement, but do believe all testing standards should be the same with no distinctions made for gender.

I wasn’t in the military so I can’t comment much on what goes on there; however, I have been in law enforcement & recall in the testing process & academy, there were different standards for men & women. Running times for men, push-up Numbers,assist on wall climb available 2 women

it's always a shit show.. total bad idea, which our ancestors already learned, but hey let's try it again.

🤔

Every American citizen should have the equal right to die for their country. The current president should be at the front of the line since he 'weak ankles' himself out of serving in Vietnam.

Yeah but I still think it's baloney

well noted usa today

But they will want special treatment, equal rights but not equal treatment.

Women Are Sharing Their 'Worst Stories About Working In A Male-Dominated Industry' On TwitterWomen Are Sharing Their 'Worst Stories About Working In A Male-Dominated Industry' And It's So Sad I worked in Pensacola Florida cleaning up a construction site. at the end of the Day the forum refused to pay me and told me not to return to tomorrow because I was too much of a distraction because I refused to wear a bra. I have more stories all about the same type shit. I work in a store that sells video games, consoles, phones, PC parts etc. Male customers constantly come in and walk past 3 or 4 female staff members to ask the one male staff member on shift a question we literally all know the answer to... nadinesomething Had a foreman who kept telling me to smile. I said ‘I don’t get paid to smile’ he said ‘yes you do that’s what I’m paying you for’ so I said ‘how much are you paying me to smile? because I guess I’ll start working that much less’

In federal court, a Texas community union takes on Trump on census citizenship question“I know the citizenship question could harm many states, but we will really feel it in South Texas,” said LUPE's Juanita Valdez-Cox. 'Our government is legally entitled to include a citizenship question on the census and people in the United States have a legal obligation to answer' - this is the same Justice Department that thinks the public is not legally entitled to read the Mueller report. Hypocrite much? Seems like this is an obvious bad move for the GOP long term. Their states use the most undocumented labor and their populations will decrease. Once again, the US is preparing a military invasion of Venezuela! As long as the US exists in the world there will be wars!
