Young Women: How would you react to being drafted?
i believe that when they reinstate the draft, all but a given, there will be mass demonstrations and civil unrest and a huge backlash and resistance. i believe that many will be jailed at first for dodging the stupid draft, war objecters, slackers, etc. but that we the people might just shut down the government if the draft comes back.

we all know the history of what many american men did to avoid the draft. dick cheney got four college deferments, when they ran out, he and lynne got pregnant for the fifth deferment. many men ran off, lied about being gay, i even know of one friend who shot his own foot to avoid vietnam. didn't help.

but what will women do? many will simply go with no argument, like so many men did, but some will say, screw this, i ain't goin'.

this is all daydreaming, but i suspect that if women were drafted by the criminally insane warpigs, all hell would break loose on the streets of your town.
