Women's Rights!

[Acer]

I'm a little puzzled here, so help me out with this.

For a long time, women were mistreated. While being a woman had its merits, they didn't have all the rights men did. Voting is probably the most known thing women weren't allowed to do. However, along without being allowed to vote, there was that convenient "women and children first" rule, and the fact that women couldn't get drafted at a time of war. What happened? Well, women worked for equality, and they got their right to vote.

Now is where I start to get confused. They have all the rights men do, but women still can't be drafted in a time of war (even though there isn't a draft right now). Women can't be hit by men, because of that classic rule against hitting girls. Last but not least, the old "women and children first" rule is still in effect.

They preached for equality, and they got their rights. What the hell happened to these few things? I don't see the women over at NOW asking to be signed up for the draft, they simply keep their mouth shut on the issue. They claim women are just as strong as men, mentally and physically but the special treatment they get is convenient, so it goes unspoken of.

I've learned to dislike feminists. From their outrageous claims such as "men piss standing up to show their dominance" to their complaints about how society mistreats them.

Hey, women still aren't at the same level as men.

It's a proven fact that men still receive higher salaries than women for over 70% of all jobs, even if the quality and the dedication are the same.

And women still sign up to join the army.

Very interesting point. It is like women wants to participate and be more better than the men do. It is certainly quite possible. But either way, it does have the benefits if the women are or aren't the same level as men.
