Re: Women and the Draft
I agree definitly with the way that's worded, but I would also have to say that I think the public is generally misinformed if they are "spewing out" information given to them by many government offices. There will never be a state of unbias. An unbiased government only exists in a perfect state, which unfortunately is not possible under today's circumstances.
Yes, it is sad that people may just repeat what they read in history books, but there are many facts out there that are not biased. Take into account how much information is being hidden about this "draft issue." Many friends who I speak with were not even aware of its existence. Hiding information for election popularity is a form of bias, though in a very skewed way.
I believe the same can be said for draft laws that have lasted since World War II. There is bias there, and that is information from a national source, so therefore, yes there is going to be bias. But is that what is important? I think the more important question, if we plan to discuss the bias of resources, is how to avoid that bias, rather than to complain about it. Is it more useful, persay, in a state of conflict for the government to disallow capable fighters from defending their families, or is it better to avoid drafting them women into the front lines in hopes that they will remain convinced of their "physical inferiority?" just a couple questions to throw out, my apologies if they are too offtopic.
