I don't think that having women in the draft is sexist, | it is NOT having women in the draft that is sexist. | | I don't see what makes them incapable of being able to perform in any | stituation (after all, they wanted equality.) [International examples.] | It isn't the women's fault; NOW and a few other groups lobbied for drafting women as well as men if there were to be a draft; DoD (or Reagan? Or even Carter? I forget) quashed it. --bsa -- Brandon Allbery @ North Coast Xenix | the.world!ucbvax!decvax!cwruecmp! 6504 Chestnut Road, Independence, Ohio | {atvax!}ncoast!{tdi1!}bsa (216) 524-1416 \ 44131 | E1439@CSUOHIO.BITNET (friend's acct.) | BALLBERY (161-7070) on MCI Mail ---------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Keeping the Galaxies safe for Civilization... :-)
