WASHINGTON – The House Armed Services Committee approved an annual defense policy bill early Thursday morning that includes a provision that would require women to register with the Selective Service System.

Of course, considering modern warfare, old arguments like women being less physically fit or distracting the men don't really apply.

Case in point for the women's equality issue, though. About 30 years ago, the Pennsylvania state insurance board decided that in going with the general sweep toward equality at the time, men and women should be paying equal amounts for their auto insurance. And of course, the insurance industry didn't lower the men's rates to what women paid, they raised the rates for women.
Guess who was first in line to scream like stuck pigs? Women's groups, the very same ones who were pushing for "equality"; effectively proving their hypocrisy.
If you want equality, fine, have equality. But you have to take the good with the bad. No special exemptions, set-asides or any other felgercarb. Just equal treatment for all. But that isn't really what most of these groups are about, is it?

It's called the Klinefelter syndrome.
Klinefelter syndrome is a chromosomal condition that affects male physical and cognitive development. Its signs and symptoms vary among affected individuals.
Affected individuals typically have small testes that do not produce as much testosterone as usual. Testosterone is the hormone that directs male sexual development before birth and during puberty. A shortage of testosterone can lead to delayed or incomplete puberty, breast enlargement (gynecomastia), reduced facial and body hair, and an inability to have biological children (infertility). Some affected individuals also have genital differences including undescended testes (cryptorchidism), the opening of the urethra on the underside of the penis (hypospadias), or an unusually small penis (micropenis).
Older children and adults with Klinefelter syndrome tend to be taller than their peers. Compared with unaffected men, adults with Klinefelter syndrome have an increased risk of developing breast cancer and a chronic inflammatory disease called systemic lupus erythematosus. Their chance of developing these disorders is similar to that of women in the general population.
Children with Klinefelter syndrome may have learning disabilities and delayed speech and language development. They tend to be quiet, sensitive, and unassertive, but personality characteristics vary among affected individuals.Originally posted by garhkal View PostAs that news links showed, its already happened...
But that still doesn't make it right to deny a transgender access to the toilet they identify with.
I see you still haven't responded to the picture I posted, so I assume you're just totally clueless and have never met a transgender in your life. But why would they - you are convinced they're sick in the head.
That I'm sick in the head, and I don't even identify as a transgender, but more genderqueer.

Originally posted by garhkal View PostExactly. Or those people who say they 'hear voices'.. What makes THeir "Mental disorder" one worthy of locking them up, but someone who says "I care not what my DNA is, i damn well think i am a X"..Why is one disorder bad, and the other not?
For example: the guy who shot up a planned parenthood clinic heard voices and they told him to do God's work
Hearing voices is also not always a sign of a mental illness, but then they are classified as a auditory hallucination.

Religion has no place in a workplace especially, and unless your workstation is yours alone you have no business putting that up on your desktop.
Originally posted by garhkal View PostBUT why is that wrong/bad/not allowable, but giving someone a 'waiver' from having to conform to uniform regs for THEIR religion ok?? ITs a double standard to me..
Originally posted by garhkal View PostFirms already do so, in relation to whom they hire if say they are a butchers/meat packing facility. Or as i have mentioned before, in relation to Ageism.. So why is it ok there, but not against wanting to hire say muslims, sihks, or XYZ religion who would require too much time off of work to 'do their thing' which would cause productivity declines?? Or is religion bad to discriminate against, but age ok??
Originally posted by garhkal View PostAnd what anatomical function is it 'hitting' to allow a male who thinks they are female, to go into the Gal's room when they can service that in the male's room???
Originally posted by garhkal View PostNothing. They are both thinking they are something they are not.

I mean, you better not call a vegetarian a vegan and vice versa.
They both don't eat meat-products but that's where the similarity ends.
Originally posted by garhkal View PostAnd the only reason that is now no longer seen as a mental disorder is cause liberals got docs to CHANGE it.
Liberals got nothing to do with it. Smart people with degrees.

I'm sure we're all craving more vacation days, but that's just ridiculous.
Originally posted by Annoyed View PostOf course, it's for "Equality", right?
This kind of thing, asking for preferential treatment, makes it harder for legitimate issues to be given fair hearing.

"The requirement that women register for the draft would be more a symbolic measure than a practical one, as the U.S. hasn't used a draft system since the Vietnam War."

Over here car insurances are calculated on age and how long you've been driving, and whether you've had any prior accidents. Youngsters therefor have cars and the parents take on the insurance, cause it's ridiculously high for young drivers.
