Draft The "Strong" Woman
To/Against/For: Equal Rights For Womenregarding the selective service's gender-bias
having suffered what is called a "traumatic brain injury," i am in my room a lot and i'm listening to talk radio over the internet while writing my woman-centered "equal rights" type of website known as www.strongwomen.info. i must say that whenever i listen to WPGB and other "iheartradio" stations over the internet, there is always a commercial that plays for selective service. it addresses "young men" and "young men" only, calling on them to serve their country in a national emergency. i believe that this is sexual discrimination, and i call on WPGB and other "iheartradio" stations to cease and desist playing this commercial. why shouldn't the government call on females in time of national emergency, isn't the government susceptible to the media and don't they give credence to the "anything a man can do" type of metamorphosis that the modern woman has undergone within the last few decades?
it is a new century and a woman is just as equipped to be a soldier as a man is. now, i know that there are many myths out there dealing with females being of the lesser gender, but i'm writing this letter to be a mythbuster regarding these anti-woman myths.
female soldier myth #1: menstruation. now, just because Strongwoman must take time out to bleed from her vagina AND tend to it every month, does not mean that the female soldiers would be less prepared in an emergency than their male counterparts would be. in fact, there is a "guide to female soldier readiness," published in 2007, that was specifically written to help females compensate for and overcome the high-maintenance aspect of femininity. though the first sentence of the guide reads this way: "female soldiers encounter unique health care situations and considerations," one should realize that the word "hindrance" is not a part of the sentence. some may say that the "special situations and considerations" regarding female soldiers IS the aforementioned hindrance, but i do not believe that the instruction manual given to females who want to become soldiers is intended to belittle them or their aforementioned special considerations/unique situations. let me make one thing clear: reliance on instruction manuals is not an insult to one's competency, practicality or usefulness.
not completely unrelated to the myth of menstruation belittling women, i will address the gender-based barracks. now, menstruation of female soldiers may be partly responsible for the government's decision to build separate barracks for the females (and for their bloody vaginas), and building these new barracks may hint at a possible loss of unit-cohesion to some, but i'm sure that if men had to tend to themselves with douche and tampons then they'd want a little privacy to keep from being taunted by the opposite sex. the fact is that men simply don't have to tend to themselves this way - mens' bodies aren't baby-machines which bleed out an unfertilized egg every month. incidentally, this is exactly what gives female sportscasters the right to invade mens' locker rooms. men don't have to mop up blood from their crotch, what do they need privacy for? of course there is no male sportscaster who would dare invade the females' locker rooms, , it would not be tolerated. female athletes are still females - they're still frail creatures who need to feel safe when undressing, they would feel violated with a man in their locker room. they are too frail to accept anything but their own gender, maybe this could also be a crux of homosexuality in general.
female soldier myth #2: lack of testosterone. now, as for testosterone somehow elevating the role of men to one that's quite apropos to military service, it's true that testosterone gives men an edge on physical aptitude, but - oh, i'm sorry, i can't think of a way to spin this - there just does not seem to be a way to justify the military's gender-based physical requirements without naming the female soldier as of the weaker gender. the same goes for gender-based fitness centers and gender-based hot dog eating competitions, they exist to compensate for the woman and her inability to compare to men. gender-based sports teams and gender-based poker nights at casinos. i apologize for not being a "mythbuster" on this one, but it's really not my fault - if society expects us to buy into the equality movement, what is the meaning of anything being gender-based?
wrapping up, i guess i have answered my own question about selective service and the requirement for only men to sign up. i guess i've come to a realization while trying to defend a woman's place in the military. i guess i've realized something about the gender that has a vagina which leaks blood. i guess i've realized something about the gender that has the milk-leaking breasts. it's a gender designed for motherhood, the female's body is designed for motherhood...it's not a woman's place to be trying to prove herself stronger than a fifth-grader, her body wasn't intended for warriorhood...a woman's hips widen while a man's shoulders widen. while few men are looking to marry shorter, it just happens.

| johnny gay | As a Gay man, I find this petition to be quite hysterical. It's certainly a slap in the face to the "politically correct" nonsense regarding gays and women! | |
| jim "tim" tebow | Is this like "women" being a dime-a-dozen, while regarding men as "men" is for only a select few with noble intentions or who are highly esteemed? isn't that ironic, in this Strongwoman nation? | |
| charles seth jabour iii | It's actually kind of funny, especially when one has a daughter like mine! | |
| Yolanda | Finally, someone telling it like it T-I is! | |
| Christine C | Unlike Karen, I do not find this profile to be offensive. I find it to be funny. I know - first hand - that a woman simply cannot do anything a man can do. It's easy to see when I go to lift weights at the gym. This petition seems kind of satirical, satirizing both feminism and society's understanding of gender in general. Like Lady Gaga, women were "born this way," meaning we were born with estrogen and not testosterone to stimulate muscle-growth and strength. We were "born this way," the female's body was designed for childbirth - from our milk-leaking mammary glands to our blood-leaking vaginas. It is quite elemental. Some "strong women," maybe Madonna or other feminists, want to believe they are mens' equal. | |
