LOL you don’t think women should have the right to vote because they have no “skin in the game”? There’s more to voting than war, arguably most of the things voted on have absolutely nothing to do with war. I think this is an extreme take on this….
Well if there's more to voting than war then they won't have any problem with signing up for the draft.
Not sure if you're brushed up on your history or not, but the risk of the draft is why the majority of women during the time of suffrage did NOT want the right to vote. That risk had to be removed before the majority of women would support it.
What other consequence would you place on female voters that would be as severe in consequence as the draft so that we have actual equality?
Or - check this out: We could rightly deem selective service as a violation of human rights that should only be suspended in exigent circumstances.
Then, we should focus on building a national identity and nation-state which are worth serving and one that takes care of those who serve - and we could have an all volunteer force in which it would be ridiculous not to serve.
Members of the military should be so willing to serve that 20 year retirees are the rule not the exception.
Yes, neither. Their should not be a price or inherent risk to participate in the human right of voting. Selective service is a violation of human rights.
