I am just playing games with Doc. Sure, I do think a woman deserves a chance if she is strong enough for the job. But I don't think many women should be working in tough and dangerous jobs.

You know I don't believe women should work in "plumbing, trash collection, construction, baggage handling".

How are:

plumbing
trash collection
construction
baggage handling

tough and dangerous?

To be fair....construction is actually tough and dangerous regardless of your gender....approximately 14 deaths per day in the US.

Oddly enough I didn't see any signs demanding women be added to the Selective Service registration. I mean, now that women are joining combat arms in the US military, I'm fairly certain feminists are going to demand equal treatment under the Selective Service Act. Right?

The tweet was pretty coherent. It echoed Muhammad Ali in a Trumpian sort of way, "I float like a turd and stink like a bee".

Some feminists are asking for this particular slice of 'equal treatment.' If I remember correctly, a bill to require women to register for the Selective Service was proposed this summer by a Democratic congresswoman. It was shot down by the GOP.

That may be the case, because both the Obama admin and Pentagon in 2016 backed expanding Selective Service to women. However, that's beside the point. I didn't see any signs after googling for 30 or so minutes asking for equality on this particular issue, which is surprising because it's been a pretty headline-worthy issue since 2015.

I saw lots of signs about their pussies, vaginas, and clitorises. Lots and lots of sign reeeeeeally focusing on their bits. Oh. And uteri, too.

Lol.

That's because we want total equality.

But not.
