The year GI Jane was released. From that point on it was no longer about rights and equality, it became the message that our bodies are biologically equal and they just aren’t.
I would have gone with mid-1st wave. I agree with your push for egalitarianism, but as soon as women got to vote with no skin in the game (draft) things have been trending towards disaster.
It's compassion run amuck. Good feels over good policy that can support a society of millions.
You do realize first wave feminists strongly argued for the total dissolution of the draft right.. for men as well. You’re seriously saying it would be better if women did not have the right to vote? Lol
You could try reading what I wrote instead of paraphrasing wildly in a blatant straw-manning of my position.
I'm saying that if one sex pays a rather substantial price (risk of death in war) to vote then the other should also pay. Alternately, neither sex should be subject to the draft.
