Those who so often crusade for supposed “equality” are often the biggest opponents of such equality. Black Lives Matter, for instance, claims to promote equality, but really only serves as a black supremacist movement dedicated to promoting unequal treatment- one set of standards for whites and another for minorities.
What has become of modern feminist ideology is no less tragic and unjust. Like so many social justice-centered ideologies, modern feminism focuses almost exclusively on the promotion of n equality of outcome rather than an equality of opportunity- a system that leads to quotas and 50% of the population being offered the role of “victim” in the supposed patriarchal society that is allegedly infested with microaggressions around every corner.
However, few have hosted a discussion about true equality. In a world where true equality was sought between the sexes, feminists would crusade for equal treatment in civil courts between men and women, disallowing preferential treatment for women in divorce or child custody proceedings.
In a world dedicated to true equality, women would demand to be treated the same as their male coworkers- and that includes having to hear the occasional dirty joke or sex-infused discussion.
In a world dedicated to true equality, women would register for the draft.
Now, such a world is inching closer.
Gen. Mark A. Milley, chief of staff of the Army, and Gen. Robert B. Neller, the Marine Corps commandant both testified on Tuesday before the Senate Armed Services Committee. There, they both maintained that the time has come for women to be compelled to register for the draft.
“Senator, I think that all eligible and qualified men and women should register for the draft,” said Milley in agreement with Neller.“Now that the restrictions that exempted women from [combat jobs] don’t exist, then you’re a citizen of a United States,” Neller said. “It doesn’t mean you’re going to serve, but you go register.”
In December, Defense Secretary Ash Carter opened all military combat positions to women.
Currently, virtually all men between the ages of 18 and 26 must register for the Selective Service, better known as the draft.
I registered for the draft when I was 18- at the height of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. At that time, though it appeared unlikely, a draft selection seemed within the realm of possibility and I distinctly remember encountering the true nature of equality between the sexes.
“Hiring a proportionate amount of women is a must in the corporate world,” I remember questioning, “but women are exempt from the compulsory draft requirements that could someday cost me and my friends our lives?”
Somehow, it didn’t seem fair or just. Either we are committed to equality or we are dedicated to cherry-picking and warped interpretations of “equality.”
Hopefully, we will soon be closer to the former.

First Woman to Enlist in Combat? Yeah, She’s AWOL…
Everyone was happy when the Obama Administration declared that women could serve in combat. This was a major stepping stone in equality and social justice! Take this one heartwarming story in Tennessee…
Great story, right? Uplifting. Girl power. #YesAllWomen, etc.
Here’s the rub…she went AWOL.
The first woman in Tennessee to enlist as a combat engineer in the Army went AWOL according to a military spokesperson. Local 8 News was first to tell you about Erika Lopez back in July of 2015. She made headlines when she enlisted for a job that could involve fighting on the front lines. The U.S. Army had just lifted its ban on women in combat roles when she walked into a recruiting office in Knoxville and decided to enlist as a combat engineer. Lopez was in basic training at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri. An Army spokesperson tells Local 8 News that Private Lopez was scheduled to return from convalescent leave on January 4th. She was reported absent without leave (AWOL) on January 5th after she failed to return.Spokesperson Tiffany Wood issued a statement saying, “After 30 days in an AWOL status, a Soldier is considered a deserter and a federal warrant is issued for his or her arrest. “
We’re not one’s to say we told you so. Well, except those times when we really couldn’t help it. The urge is sometimes unbearable. Hey, we all have our crosses.
TOLD YOU SO! HAHAHAHAHA.
Couldn’t resist.
Look, does this mean all women who join the enlisted services will abandon their sworn duty? Of course not. But is it hilarious that the first woman who did enlist has gone completely missing? Yeah. We’re going to laugh about it. We’re going to laugh about it a lot. Not sorry. Are we going to make fun of Erika for ditching the military to get her hair done? No, that’s sexist. Manicure? SEXIST.
So how does one critizice a woman who just couldn’t hack it in the military? A wimp? A wuss? A coward? Hmmm…those are all words that are traditionally applied to men who lack certain anatomical features located somewhere below the belt. What do you call a woman who’s a chicken?
Jury’s still out. So, by the way, is Erika Lopez.
