It's interesting that we see women forced to be in the military in rather unusual places: North Korea (not the example we're trying to imitate, I hope), Israel (where they do see themselves as facing an existential threat that requires full participation, where women are exempted fully for anything having to do with child-bearing, and where despite disputes over sexist practices, especially in the religious context, women enjoy an enormous degree of equality and support for child-bearing), and Norway (known for being in the forefront on gender equity, and fully supportive of women's needs surrounding child care et al.). Unless we want to be like North Korea, I would say registering for the draft is unfair until we reach at a minimum Norway-like standards of gender equity and Israel-like conditions of military need.Statistics: Posted by Phoebe — Fri Sep 01, 2017 12:01 pm
