NEWS: Happy Women's Equality Day

If women had to do it, you would.

"...it's pretty damn clear that the right hates women--and I don't give a shit if they do it actively or passively."

Wholly agree with your basic premise. But I think this is a stretch. Pretty damn clear? I'm not so sure. I hate pseudo-journalism with comments like this. It's like you're attempting to abrogate any argument to the contrary. "You see? It's clear! And if you don't see things through my eyes you're a moron."

It also seems that you imply that all women who register to vote and then do so will vote liberal. Not so sure about that either.

True. My mom used to vote republican a couple of decades ago. She actually voted for Reagan, who was the last republican she voted for.

Of course it isn't. But the thread is about equality. How you can say this issue matters less than any other is bizarre.

The draft argument would be legitimate if we, men, had actually been drafted within the last 35 years... It's doubtful there ever will be a draft again, anyway, unless we ever face a war on such a scale as, say, WWI/II... so, the draft is moot...

I stick with Jim Hightower... "If God had wanted us to vote, he'd have given us candidates (worth electing)!"

Of course, I'm an atheist... so I vote, anyway.

amen!

No, its potential "forced servitude", and regardless that's not the point you made. You made a mindless bombastic point with no basis in reality. Now you're moving the goalpost. The fact is, there isn't a draft. If there is a draft, most won't be drafted. Of those who are drafted, most won't see combat. Of those who see combat most will never even be injured. That's pretty fucking attenuated coming from a guy who registered nearly two fucking decades ago.

As for forced servitude, it is a marginal, and wholly theoretical step away from the "forced servitude" of having to work to eat and pay bills. Life sucks some times and you have to make sacrifices for comfort. There isn't a country on earth who wouldn't kick our asses and rape our country for the resources we have. Well, maybe not Canada.

In short, your point, such as it is, has absolutely nothing to do with equality of even privilege, its a shameful and meaningless rhetorical dodge.

So until then, you'll stay decidely sexist? Wow. Classy.

It's all about the billable hours

Only if you're a snake oil salesman.

Here's a tip: when your potential client base rejects you it's not because they're stupid, it's because you have a shitty business model. Doctors don't want an off site system because you might not be around in five years and they don't wan to start from scratch, plus if you fuck up the HIPAA by not safeguarding your system, they're fucked. This is before the data mining that I'm quite certain is built into your software.

People with real jobs don't encounter these problems, but you'll figure that out, or at least be bitter and lonely about it, soon enough. Coffee may be for closers, but the rest of us just buy it at Starbucks.
