The argument about women in the military is sexist against both sides yet no one that counts (ie politicians) seem to understand this.
I was once challenged to name an institution that was sexist against men. I said, "The draft." What followed was a total merry-go-round of logic.
"But men AND women can work in the military."
"Yes, but that's enlisting, the idea of the draft is that you don't get a choice."
"Okay, but there is no draft."
"That's not really the point, is it? If a draft is declared in the near future, only men will be selected. And I rather like not being shot at."
"But it's not affecting you right now."
"Several sexist things aren't affecting you at this very moment. But if you're really that hung-up on this, I should note that you CAN go to jail if you don't register. Well, YOU can't. Because you're a woman, & don't have to."
"Okay, so register."
"I did. Hence why I'm not in jail."
"Then you should be good."
"Not really, I'm about as fit for combat as a water balloon, but I'm already on record, so even if they change the rules, tough shit."
"But there is no draft."
"So?"
"So it's not affecting you."
She also believed that a military wouldn't even be necessary in a society run by women. So...yeah.
