I seen a deal on fb the other day talking about some porn star named sunny lee, or something like that, said she didn't think rape was a bad thing, and called it " surprise sex ". If she did say this, it just goes to show me how so different peoples views are.

That is truly horrific.

Yes it is!
I geuss, if someone rapes a lady I love, they don't have to call it self defense, they can call it surprise I just got blowed in half!

Yet it still amazes me, if she said it, how someone thinks.

The KKK held their rally in Iuka ms. Today, which is about 20 mins from me, so I'm still amazed at how some think.

As I realize some people are amazed at how I think.

Atleast Memphis TN., which is 1 1/2 hours from me, have passed a deal where, if the klan or anyone shows up to have a rally, they must pay for the extra security the city has to have, which is well over one million bucks :)

To switch gears a bit - I've been on another topic far away discussing the draft,which could possibly be reinstated one day, so I'm curious to ask all who are in favor of women's rights and for them to be allowed to serve on front lines next to men. If a draft did occur, would you be ok, if this time women are made to sign up and drafted?

Yes. That would be the consequence of women serving in combat. They should have the right to die for their country.

If girls and women think school or work is hard now, they should know that becoming a mother will be ten times harder. Many mothers and grandmothers don’t tell young girls and women in their family exactly how hard motherhood truly is, for reasons known only to them.

I strongly disagree with the practice of keeping girls in ignorance of this. I believe they NEED to know what being a mother will require of them, so they can make an informed decision about being a mother, even if it means some girls will decide not to be mothers at any point in their lives. That is just fine if some don't want to be mothers. Not all girls or women are suited to be moms, and choosing NOT to be a mother is just as valid as the choice to be one.

Some of the hardships mothers of all ages will face once a baby arrives include -- but are not limited to -- the following:

1. Loss of freedom
2. Loss of sleep
3. Loss of money
4. Loss of education and job/career opportunities
5. Loss of mobility
6. Loss of private time
7. Dealing with colic

There is no escaping the fact that becoming a mother makes a girl’s/woman's life much HARDER and she loses most, if not all, of the benefits and comforts she had before she got pregnant.

Too many girls/women are PRESSURED into having children by family members and/or religious community, and purposely aren't told just how very hard motherhood is until AFTER they have had a baby. I think it is high time that changed. If some girls/women decide they don't want the hardships of motherhood, that is fine. The choice for a woman to be childfree is just as valid and respectable as the choice to be a mother.

I just wonder what impact it would have on the current womens rights movement, if instead of just boys that turn 18 having to sign up with selective services, they started running commercials reminding all girls who turn 18 must sign up as well?

I wonder if instead of bra burnings screaming equal rights, they may be many who put their bras back on, and say enough is enough?

Ocean is big on equal rights for women, so curious about her thoughts on equal draft as well.

"The choice for a woman to be childfree is just as valid and respectable as the choice to be a mother."

I agree, as long as that decision is made before they become pregnant.

Hey hey ocean -will you answer my question regarding the draft?
Then perhaps come up with one of your list about the hardships of a draft?
I'll start it.
LOSS OF LIFE!
LOSS OF SLEEP!
LOSS OF FRIENDS!
LOSS OF BEING ABLE TO GO TO THE COFFEE SHOPS. LOL

Equal means equal. Women already serve in the military, and have died for their country. This is nothing new.

Be careful what you wish for. They already have given themselves headaches trying to do it all. The stress level is through the roof for women. You can't do it all well at the same time. Something has to suffer.

True, so you're ok with having all girls who turn 18 sign up with selective services, and then be drafted if needed? All girls, not some. Not those who wish, but just like the boys -ALL girls must sign and go if drafted?
Thank you for your answer, and have a great Sunday.

Women should be required to sign up for the draft.
