streamofthesky posted... The only one trying to make their opinion more valid than others is Jen.
And it is and always will be a stupid argument.
Where does it end? Like, we can take this argument a lot of places if you think it's so valid.
Should women have not had the right to vote this whole time? Elected politicians decide whether or not to go to war, and only men have been subjected to the draft. No woman up to now has had to worry about being sent off to die somewhere. Here, let's use Jen's brilliant arguments:
"Just because I haven't been enlisted doesn't mean I haven't experienced military adjacent things. And it doesn't detect from the fact that I can ACTUALLY GET DRAFTED and be forced to be enlisted and fight and die and you won't be.
Women aren't even expected to be in noncombat support roles, either. So you don't get drafted, you don't get sent into basic training, and there's little societal expectation for you to go overseas for the war effort. Why does your opinion have any weight??"
Jen's opinion on this is more valid than yours, cheers.
