I can agree with you disagreeing with putting the women on a pedestal, that's my personal belief. 

When it comes to women in the draft, physically men are stronger than women.  We are the stronger sex and as the stronger sex it's our duty to protect our women.  I think it shows a lack of respect because woman are the child bearers, something men can't do.  Women have the duty to carry our children and I think men have the duty to protect them, we each have our roles and denying women our protection to me shows lack of respect.  We should want to make sure the female population is cared for, and sometimes that means giving our lives for their sake.  I guess that my views are simply drilled into my core and others may disagree, but I cannot honestly understand how a man could want women in the draft.  I mean, growing up my father was much more protective of my sisters than me and my brother.  He didn't think they were weak, he simply wanted them to have the best life possible and drilled into my head that you respect all women and do what you can to protect them.

Though you may have the best intentions, that ideal carries mysogyny in its very core.

I'm not bashing you for it, I'm just saying that you should reconsider what role women should play in modern society.

Hell, I carry it in my core as well. It's not something that's easily shed.

Mysogyny is the hatred of women because they are women, which is far from my view.  I guess you could call my ideals sexist.  I would agree that my thinking was wrong if I believed that women should not be in the military, but I don't think that, I just think they shouldn't be forced to join.
