Judge Rules Male-Only Military Draft Is Unconstitutional

[satam55]

A federal court judge in Texas has struck a blow for "feminism," ruling Friday that a men-only draft is unconstitutional and represents an instance of "gender-based discrimination" under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments

The San Diego Union-Tribune reports that the judge "sided with a San Diego men’s advocacy group that challenged the government’s practice of having only men sign up for the draft," though the judge "stopped short of ordering the Selective Service System to register women for military service."

Two men in Texas, who were then of age to register for the Selective Service System, filed suit against the government over the draft back in 2013, claiming that it was unfair to discriminate against women in the draft, particularly given that women now serve in front-line combat roles in the military and are competing with men for some of the military's most difficult roles.

A San Diego "men's rights" group, the National Coalition for Men, eventually joined in the suit.

“This case balances on the tension between the constitutionally enshrined power of Congress to raise armies and the constitutional mandate that no person be denied the equal protection of the law,” the judge wrote in his decision. He added that a decision was needed because Congress has been debating the issue of drafting women for decades with no result.

According to the Supreme Court in the Obergfell case legalizing gay marriage across the country, the judge noted, the government has an obligation to make decisions on issues of gender equality quickly, and must determine immediately whether such discrimination serves "an important governmental interest today."

The judge believes the time has come to rectify the problem, justifying his decision to upend 1980s guarantees exempting women from the Selective Service with a 2015 Defense Department order lifting all gender-based restrictions on military service and combat roles, noting that the DOJ's intent with the order was clearly to eliminate all gender-based restrictions in the military across the board, USA Today reports.

He even went so far as to suggest that women may be better suited to some combat roles, giving the military an even greater excuse to explore bringing more women into the fold. "The average woman could conceivably be better suited physically for some of today's combat positions than the average man, depending on which skills the position required. Combat roles no longer uniformly require sheer size or muscle," the judge's decision read.

Feminists have long fought for equal access to military roles once restricted to men only, but have stopped short of pushing for a gender-neutral Selective Service, even though other countries require both genders to register and serve equally.

The judge's decision here does not require the government to make major changes to the Selective Service system just yet, and the plaintiffs seem to have won more of a symbolic decision than one that will make any real impact on women in the military, but the decision does signal a sea change in how courts could view the issue.

The National Commission on Military, National and Public Service is currently studying the issue and is expected to render a more concrete decision soon. That commission is also considering doing away with the draft altogether, given that the draft has not been used for decades and its use was highly controversial during the war in Vietman.

Oh well

Why not just get rid of the draft altogether?

Makes sense. If this is your home, everyone should fight. Cultures way back had everyone fight, including children.

less chance of me ever getting drafted

I’m above draft age, so I’m Gucci

Means nothing.

Women aren't being turned away at MEPS, and there are more than enough males who already registered for selective service cause they wanted loans to go to college.

These are one of the things women who fight for "equality" don't want to happen

And I'd rather have a draft than mandatory military sentences like other countries do.

Surprisingly enough, not true. They were consistent. I remember telling these dumb bytches back when they let us into combat positions (or on the front lines, some shyt), 'Sis, this ain't what you want. ' They ain't listen bc I'm too traditional and they wanted to disagree with me on gp.


Welp.

The first feminists were very and so was a great progenitor of "Black" Feminism, a "sista" named Sojourner Truth:
"White women are a great deal smarter, and know more than colored women, while colored women do not know scarcely anything. They go out washing, which is about as high as a colored woman gets, and their men go about idle, strutting up and down; and when the women come home, they ask for their money and take it all"

" There is a great stir about colored men getting their rights, but not a word about the colored women; and if colored men get their rights, and not colored women theirs, you see the colored men will be masters over the women, and it will be just as bad as it was before."
c00n WORDS.

Alice Paul, the bold leader of the women’s suffrage movement in the early 1900s, was the chief organizer of that 1913 parade that pushed black women to the back of the march.
" 'Better whiskey and more of it' is the rallying cry of great, dark-faced mobs," Willard said in an 1890 interview with the New York Voice. "The safety of [white] women, of childhood, of the home, is menaced in a thousand localities."

I already caught your goofy ass giving female supporters of a pedophile with that cheap "Internalized Misogyny/Stockholm Syndrome" auto-out, but I'm not letting you get away with this. If you'd like, I can draw parallels between the NEGRO BRUTE TROPE images early white feminists used to move their White Benefactors...and the current tropes used by NuBlack Feminists and their current white allies, adorned in gay slang and snark.


There are far more examples of "black" feminists collaborating with racist elements than any Black Male based group...and no, it's not out of necessity, it's about getting the first seat at the table. They were already sitting at the master's table, being the majority of the few Black slave owners...why not keep a good thing going?

Stay out of our business, warya...and worry about FGM.

It's fair I have no problem with it. I bet not see these white feminist complaining about it either.
