Article here. Excerpt:

'The majority of American female voters support the idea of women serving in combat, but not being drafted, according to a national poll from Quinnipiac University released Thursday morning at the National Press Club.

Seventy-seven percent of female voters indicated that they favor the combat policy change, the poll showed.

When asked about the reinstatement of the draft, only 28 percent of American voters were in support. Despite widespread favor toward women in combat, only 48 percent of females supported women being drafted, while 59 percent of men supported the idea.
...
The data reveals that female voters may believe that women should be allowed to serve in open combat alongside men, but they should not be forced to do so through a draft.'

If women don't want to be forced into combat like men, they shouldn't be. Yep, that's it. But, it's fine to force men into combat. No problem there.

Why don't they poll men on questions like this? Because our opinions don't matter. After all, when was the last time slaves were asked if they were fine with slavery?

Sorry, you gals won the argument. Women can be in combat because they can do the job--or so women claim. If they can do the job, they also have the obligation to do the job--which is what the draft is all about.

I'm not surprised by the poll, however. Thus far, it's my observation "liberated women" like rights, not responsibilities--and certainly not obligations. Only men should have obligations.
