From here,
I’m a feminist, a law professor, a Mormon, and a mother. And in each of these capacities, I am advocating opposition to the extension of the military draft to women. Last week the Senate voted overwhelmingly in support of extending selective service registration to women. The bill is now in congressional committee before being sent to the president.
One might think that as a feminist she would support the draft for women. No dice.
I am a grateful beneficiary of the feminist movement. Because of feminism, I was able to become a lawyer and practice at prestigious firms in New York City and Indianapolis. Feminism declared that women are not prisoners forced to stay at home and to stay out of the centers of economic and political power—the core ideals of feminism being choice and empowerment. I embrace this declaration and join in advocating the empowerment of women.
“Prestigious Firms” — I like that. I wonder if she made the world better when she was there… Feminists sure do like the word “empowerment”. However, it does appear that more often than not, this empowerment leads to diminished outcomes for society as a whole. But then, for a woman, she is worth it.
But there are many women who in fact choose to be at home. Being a Mormon, I have numerous friends and family who are full-time stay-at-home mothers and/or wives. For these women, being at home is not a show of weakness, brainwashing, or subjugation—rather it is their own freely-chosen path.
But of course. Women do seem to naturally like this role. Perhaps there is a good reason why this is so…
They believe the best use of their time, talents, and life is to live for their children. They could be doctors or lawyers or CEOs. But they have chosen to employ their talents at home instead. This is an empowered choice.
There is that word again — empowered. I wish that I had intellectual property rights to it. The obvious implication here is that women are just so awesome that if they choose not to be full-time mothers, then they would naturally become doctors, lawyers and CEOs.
Which leads to my objection to extending the draft to women. Isn’t this just a matter of equality? As a law professor, I understand the importance of equal obligations in a system of justice. If men can be drafted, shouldn’t women also be subject to a potential draft? I remain unconvinced.
Note that all combat roles have in the US now been opened to women. That is why there is talk of drafting them. So, why is she unconvinced?
Several major religious traditions hold that a woman’s greatest role is raising her children at home. And many women sincerely believe as much—without cowering to husbands or religious leaders.
She just can’t help herself in taking a cheap-shot at the Evil Patriarchy. Yes indeed, it is a good role for women.
I’m asking Congress, are we building into this law a conscientious objector exception for women who devoutly believe that their God-given mission in life is to be in their happy home creating a family and then building a safe place for their children to grow in a loving and secure environment? We must continue to allow women to make that choice.
One might ask if a man should also be allowed to make that choice. Why not? After all, men’s role has traditionally been as breadwinner, which allows the safe place for their children to grow in a loving and secure environment to happen. Furthermore, he has traditionally been a large contributor to this even beyond his breadwinner role.
Even for women who have not yet had children, what are the opportunity costs to them of being able to have and raise a family if we draft them to war in their prime years for marriage and childbearing?
To be forthright, this does not seem to bother the carousel riders and watchers. So many women just want to leverage these years for fun and freebees. Probably military service would put a damper on that.
So to everyone who cares about choice, about sincerely-held religious beliefs, about motherhood and stable families, about healthy babies, about violence against women, please stand against the extension of the draft to women.
Well, to be honest, the young women of today are not particularly sympathetic figures. They deliberately choose to undermine the implied good aspects above, as they ride the carousel, not marry, abort lots of babies, throw their children’s fathers out of the house, are generally poor mothers, etc. Perhaps if they were all that were implied above, society might make an exemption from the draft for them; but they are not all that.
NAWALT applies of course.
In a landmark decision during WWI, the Supreme Court conflated the rights of citizenship, including voting, with the responsibilities of compulsory military service to justify the draft. The exception for women has never been addressed.
From a practical standpoint, this whole question is a nonstarter. What would the US Army do with them all?

@Fuzzie: “It is not because she is a Clinton. Had Bill done as much, there would have been a trial by now.”
Funny you should say that.
1. If this eMail flap is about getting Hillary any way we can, then there is nothing to say.
2. If this eMail flap is actually about the rule of law and safeguarding national security, then there is this to say: it doesn’t matter whether classified information is passed from a private server or from a private eMail account. The issue is whether the information is secure or not. Using private eMail accounts raise the issue of security more than using a private server – because at least you have some control over security issues if you control the server. No AOL user has any control over the security of AOL’s servers.
With that point in mind, the following two links put things into some perspective. The State Dept. eMail has been hacked; there is no evidence that Hillary’s private server was ever hacked (maybe was, but there’s no evidence). And Bush Jr.’s senior White House staff “lost” a significant number of eMails because they were using priivate servers, not official government ones, which they were supposed to be using (maybe 22 million lost).
Hillary broke no laws. Colin Powell broke no laws. Condoleeza Rice broke no laws. Did Bush’s senior White House staff break laws? If Bill Clinton broke no laws, why do we think there would have been a trial by now (rhetorical)? Prosecutors don’t like to bring charges for which they have no proof.
In terms of national security, the issue was not whether one used a private server during a time when the law did not forbid it. The issue is whether the information was secure or not. Is Hillary the only one who’s behavior is questionable in this regard? A little bit of research tells us that the answer is “no”.

about violence against women
This sorry trope again?
Yes, I suppose being Drafted *would* eventually entail violence against women. That kinda happens when one is shot at by the enemy. Funny how violence against men is acceptable and considered so commonplace as to not warrant attention…
Women should be made to sign up for the Draft, especially as it is currently connected (for males) to a host of financial, college, or career-related benefits. Ones that females do not have to do anything to remain recipients of.
As a few here know, I signed up for the Draft alongside my (male) friends in our senior year of high school. I didn’t want to, but neither did most of them, so I thought it was only fair my name should go in the system as well.
Equality has 2 sides, one positive, one negative. Reaping the benefits without the sacrifice is not egalitarian.

The pros and cons of Brexit are complicated; reasonable people could and did disagree. But what was most interesting was the reaction to a vote outcome unpredicted by the pollsters or, just as important these days, the betting parlors. In London, and throughout most of Britain’s upper-middle class world, the quality press, and the political establishment—the Great and the Good, in short—the result was not disappointment but curious combination of despair, hysteria, and quiet elation.
Much of the outcry against Brexit was not merely despondent, but, as my Twitter feed revealed, unqualified in its belief that the vote was a catastrophe. Equally unambiguous was the contempt expressed for those on the other side. The professors, business people, and journalists making remarks about the “lizard brain of the British people” had no visible inclination to do what some American conservatives appalled by the rise of Trump have realized they need to do, namely, figure out why a majority of their countrymen went for a choice they consider dangerously crazy.
What also appeared was a manifestation of a nasty class-based bigotry, as acid and ugly as anything an 18th-century aristocrat might have expressed for an uppity cobbler who presumed to have a political opinion. It was manifested most clearly, in London at any rate, by the gilded young who immediately began snarling at the old and the working class who voted for Brexit, and talking—emptily, most likely—about leaving London for elsewhere.
The larger phenomenon here, however, is a crisis not of ignorant masses, but of elites who have failed. All societies, except perhaps the Greek city-states of antiquity, are led by elites or, as the great sociologist Digby Baltzell described them, establishments. As long as they provide their societies with some consequential benefit (prosperity, success in war, or political leadership), can absorb talented non-elite members, and display virtues that the rest of society values (public service, self-sacrifice, or military courage) they deserve to hang on and do.
The elites of London, like those of this country and large parts of the Western world, appear in many ways to have failed those tests. The crash of 2008 crystallized a view of the financial class in particular as reckless, self-dealing manipulators. As Joel Kotkin among others has pointed out, by virtue of how our education systems have evolved, elite youth increasingly marry one another, and the prosperous can (and do) give their children every leg up—which poorer parents cannot hope to match. Meanwhile, the political and intellectual elites deserve, and receive, very little credit for patriotism or courage, because they do not exhibit much. As manifested on campuses in Great Britain as here, they increasingly show themselves intolerant of dissenting opinions, and inclined to bully because they have forgotten (or never learned) how to argue.
The failure of courage, Solzhenitsyn said at a particularly dark point in the Cold War, was in danger of becoming a distinguishing feature of the West. The young people who talked petulantly of abandoning their country because of a vote they did not like were bright graduates of the best universities in the English-speaking world—and severely deficient in pluck. They had no notion of that patriotism which says that when your country is in trouble, you are supposed to fight it out, not begin checking to see if Morgan Stanley is hiring in Madrid. They are not fit to be trusted with political power.
And in the very intemperateness of their reaction lies one of the best reasons to think that Brexit is, with all its hazards, a good thing.

Hillary Clinton would consume a heavy dosage of “adult beverages” in the White House if she is elected president, the New York Times reports:
Hillary apparently thinks her willingness to “schmooze” over booze and “use alcohol as a political lubricant” is one reason why she would be a “better dealmaker” than President Obama. Clinton “loves socializing, loves having people and spouses over, and really loves talking over drinks,” said Neera Tanden, a former Clinton aide who runs the Center for American Progress.
One thing is clear: Hillary Clinton loves to drink. For example, she allegedly took part in a drinking contest with Senator John McCain

FarmBoy…very good link from The American Interest, thanks!
In the US, a big part of the problem is the increasing worship of educational credentials, especially those from ‘elite’ universities. Almost 50 years ago, Peter Drucker (himself Austrian by birth) wrote that one of the great strengths of American society was the absence of a distinction between ‘schools for leaders’ and ‘schools for followers.’ He also said:
“One thing it (modern society) cannot afford in education is the “elite institution” which has a monopoly on social standing, on prestige, and on the command positions in society and economy. Oxford and Cambridge are important reasons for the English brain drain. A main reason for the technology gap is the Grande Ecole such as the Ecole Polytechnique or the Ecole Normale. These elite institutions may do a magnificent job of education, but only their graduates normally get into the command positions. Only their faculties “matter.” This restricts and impoverishes the whole society…The Harvard Law School might like to be a Grande Ecole and to claim for its graduates a preferential position. But American society has never been willing to accept this claim…”
Today, American society is much closer to accepting the Grande Ecole claim than it was when Drucker wrote.

Imagine if it were the other way around. If Engineering were dominated by women and I received all sorts of help and assistance because I’m male, and grants of US$30,000+ just for doing the university course (instead of having to pay for it), and after graduation was awarded contracts for no other reason than that I’m male, I’d jump at the chance to be subjected to some good old misandry.

An example of “jumping the gun” is the Wedderspoon product pictured above in the middle, it seems to get good reviews on Amazon, although you will still see reviewers who make comments such as….
“The results of an analysis performed by NZLabs on two different Wedderspoon products were disclosed yesterday. The analysis included a jar labeled as Active 16+ and another jar labeled as Active 12+, both of which were found to have non-peroxide and total peroxide activity of less than 8.2 which is as low as the test goes. This suggests that the potency of the Wedderspoon Manuka Honey had to be either extremely low or nonexistent. It certainly confirms that the honeys were not of the potency that they were labeled as having.
“This is not only unethical and dishonest, it’s an absolute disgrace,” says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International which is a U.S. importer of Manuka honey. “This type of inactive Manuka honey will not yield the same medicinal results that people have come to expect.”

Sumo the 4th ingredient is sugar, and I have experimented with that. Bear in mind that the object of the exercize is to turn the sugar into alcohol. I have tried honey from my own hives and it does produce a good beer. However, if I had to buy the honey, the small improvement in quality would not (for me) justify the extra cost of getting the necessary sugar.
What I’m really saying is, given equality in ingredients, a homebrew is better than a commercial beer. We’re not under the same pressure to generate profits.

“A large perfectly polished and gleaming black SUV is attempting a left turn from Hunt onto southbound Main (not easy). Suddenly blue/red lights are flashing from the windshield area of the SUV (like you would see in an official fire/police vehicle),” he continued. “I said to my friends, I’ve never seen that before on a ‘regular’ vehicle and I’d think that’s illegal and dangerous. They agreed.”
That’s when the large black SUV jolted across two lanes of traffic, lights flashing, to park in front of a fire hydrant at the high end shoe boutique Footcandy.
“A St. Helena police car happens to be going northbound and pulls into the center lane and the officer starts shaking his arm and hollering at the driver of the SUV. While this goes on a man exits the SUV assisting a woman from the vehicle. She dashes off to Footcandy while he waits by the SUV in the red zone,” Smith explained.
“My friends and I are puzzled, say goodbye and I walk south on Main. As I approach Footcandy, Nancy Pelosi comes out with her shopping bags and the man assists her into the awaiting SUV. The SUV, with lights flashing, bursts back into southbound traffic,” Smith said.
…
The St. Helena Police Department has received similar complaints in the past, and on occasion we come across a scenario like what is mentioned in the complaint. Unfortunately local law enforcement has no authority to prevent this type of activity. The U.S. Capitol Police and the U.S. Secret Service provide dignitary protection for certain high-ranking members of the Federal Government, and this protection comes with the discretion to violate some state and local laws (illegal U-turns, parking in a red zone) under the guise of providing the best possible protection to the dignitary. In the case of Congresswoman Pelosi, she receives her protection detail from the Capitol Police. As the Chief of Police in St. Helena I can assure you we don’t like or condone their behavior, but I can tell you from personal experience that while they sympathize with the position they put us in, they will not alter their tactics to appease us.

In essence, in order to give Mrs. Clinton a pass, the FBI rewrote the statute, inserting an intent element that Congress did not require. The added intent element, moreover, makes no sense: The point of having a statute that criminalizes gross negligence is to underscore that government officials have a special obligation to safeguard national defense secrets; when they fail to carry out that obligation due to gross negligence, they are guilty of serious wrongdoing. The lack of intent to harm our country is irrelevant. People never intend the bad things that happen due to gross negligence

My point at 10:51 pm was clear enough. The discrimination in Engineering is against men, not women.
To maintain their flow of unearned advantages, women complain to the point where maleness itself becomes an oppression. In their limited way of thinking, at the moment we are conceived nature determines whether we are to be labelled an oppressor (male) or a victim (female). On the other hand, when it suits women, gender is not determined by nature at all, it’s a social construct. Actually it’s simultaneously in two opposite states, and the only permitted monitors of those states are female. Men may not open Schrödinger’s box.
Bloody hell it’s a crock of shit. Affecting half of humanity, it’s potentially more catastrophic than racism. To call it mentally retarded would be too kind.

I hadn’t heard of the Sully movie but had watched a few documentaries about what happened. I linked the documentary above which covered the incident and the inquiry. The drama was the brief flight. All the stuff in the trailer seemed to be made up wholesale.
From the doc:
By the time they knew they had no engines (35 seconds after the bird strikes) no airport landing was possible according to many many simulator runs.
The auxiliary generator that Sully started out of standard procedure sequence was said to have been critical because it kept the instruments working and the flight computers (as BV said)
The pilot – copilot teamwork was outstanding.
Missing from that doc was that Sully was an expert glider pilot. Which I heard elsewhere.

makes a simple point: Prosecutors almost never have direct evidence of intent, unless a defendant kindly confesses, “Yeah, not only did I do it, I intended to do it.”
Rather, intent is established through indirect evidence — chiefly false exculpatory statements, statements designed to mislead about the facts, because the defendant knows the facts show his guilt. Thus, lies are used to show consciousness of guilt, which in turn indirectly establishes intent.
Comey’s answer to this was to hem and haw and just look vaguely confused.
Near the end of the hearing, Jason Chaffetz took another run at this intent issue — he asked, “How can you say Hillary had no intent when she obviously intended to deliver classified information into the hands of between two and ten persons not cleared to see it?” — namely, her lawyers and the various IT people with access to these classified documents (via her unsecured, unauthorized email system).
That is plainly intent to share classified information with uncleared persons. Satisfying the “intent” standard.
Comey’s response was to once again babble like a fool, and claim he could not find any “evil intent.”
See that? The statute doesn’t require intent, but Comey says he reads it to require intent anyway. Then Gowdy and Chaffetz prove that even by this misreading, Hillary still has intent.
Then Comey says: “Yes, but no evil intent, like to obstruct justice or deliver the information into enemy hands.”
No matter what you probe Hillary did, Comey ups the ante for what he claims must be proven, then says it’s not proven.
