Men and women are different. Thus they have different rights and ought to have different privileges and social roles. Attempting to erase their differences is foolish and counterproductive; a civilized and sane society encourages its children to become manly men and womanly women.

But anything sane is either racist or sexist these days. Unless it's also homophobic.

Righto. I still think that it's a good idea for a woman to try hard labour, and see if it suits her or if she gets anything out of it. I think anybody should try anything unless that thing is harmful.

I'd also recommend against deadpan calling yourself sexist you want give the impression that you hate women (or men) or remove legal gender equality.

I'm not totally opposed to the idea of national service for women, but not in the military or hard physical labor. A woman's nature is oriented to caretaking(and besides which, there are certain tasks which need a woman for more practical reasons, such as strip searches for women), and society ought to encourage women to be true to their natures.

I had a blood pressure issue, so I didn't enlist. But if I hadn't I might well have joined ROTC and gone through college. How different it might have been...

If you could've joined, which Branch of the Military would you have liked to join?

Given your serious, no-nonsense, temperament, that would probably suit you well.

Men and women are different. Thus they have different rights and ought to have different privileges and social roles. Attempting to erase their differences is foolish and counterproductive; a civilized and sane society encourages its children to become manly men and womanly women.

If you believe that people have certain natural roles and places within your social order, then having to enforce that social order proves that it is in fact (to at least some degree, anyway) an artificial construct. Otherwise, given freedom to choose, people will gravitate towards those tasks on their own, and there is no need to enforce it. (This is different from other forms of law enforcement because most other crimes, such as murder and theft, are crimes because they are unquestionably harmful in virtually every circumstance. Taking advantage of your economic freedoms to find the most efficient place in the economy isn't a crime in most countries, and the ones where it is a crime aren't known for having happy populations or productive economies.)
Forcing a woman to become a caregiver when her skills and interests lean more towards construction, and then forcing a man into the construction job she would have filled when his skills and interests lean more towards childcare, isn't just deeply unfair, it's also very inefficient, since neither of them will perform their assigned tasks as well as the other would have.

Once people hear me talk and realize I don't have a german accent, I usually get mistaken for former military. I suspect being into guns and having good posture just tends to have that effect, whether you have an overly serious temperament or not.
