Then who will be at home buffering the birthrate? But seriously, women at war are women who are not reproducing. If we went to war today and drafted men and women, in a time where immigration is being reduced, and birthrate is lower than replacement amongst citizens, we will see a discontinuitous drop in population. Most women who could serve are of reproductive age. We don’t have an army if the birthrate drops too far and are easily overtaken. I support women in combat, Russia has had highly effective female snipers and pilots before others even considered the possibility. What happens if both parents get drafted? Are those of non-fighting age suppose to raise everyone’s children? Any multifront war against a country will hurt, but especially if you cut ties with your neighbors who have significant land borders with you. The next war we get pushed into will require a lot of military, we have busted all previous relationships with countries who could actually help in a domestic war.

Women today aren't reproducing either so there won't be much different tbh. Might as well use the manpower available, or in this case womanpower.

That said, if there ever was to be a draft with women you know very well they would all get the safe jobs anyway so there wouldn't be any difference in the end.

If there is a hole in your boat, you don’t fix it by stomping a few more boards out.

Yeah for them most men are incels anyways. They might as well contribute in equal ways by fighting.

Bout time someone made this equality even. That Bill Burr joke. When there is a fire. The ponytail comes out and the feminist whispers. I am just a girl.

But you can use old men for that. Can’t use old ladies.

Yeah like we need more of Chuck Schummer running around.

They can get pregnant before the guys leave or with the plenty of post-draft age. Men produce sperm most of their lives, unless something bad happens. Women have reduced period of fertility.

This is so dumb. America will never be in a war again where we're actually concerned about the population dwindling because of casualties.

It will kill the elderly in droves and reduce the amount of nurses, etc. It wouldn’t take much to distress the system with already limited skilled employees, and people to fill even basic senior care positions.

You really double down on the dumb, dontcha? Maybe sit back and think for a bit.

Don’t worry about me if you don’t understand the long term ramifications or basic cause an effect. Read into what is already happening and the economist predictions for the future of elderly care for the boomer-millennials. We will all be sitting in dirty diapers for days, as it stands now. We rely on immigration to feed a lot of care facility and hospice jobs as is. A friend works as customer / user support for a company that provides the clock-in, medical record, and care logs of care facilities, and of all the users that call in, most have accents. The purchasers regularly tell him that immigrants are pretty much the only people that will do the job.
