The Miracle family!!

Legit. Sorry me peeps. I'm really protective.

I get that you're worried, but that doesn't mean it's going to stop your sister from being drafted along with you if/when it happens. I'm sure she'll be able to take care of herself just as well as you can take care of yourself, hmm?

Just some food for thought.

Makes sense. Thanks for keeping the peace.

That's alright. Men are physically stronger. The strongest man can deadlift 300 lb more than the strongest woman.
But you know what? We can't give birth.

(Hopefully I can say this, don't get mad peeps.)
But she won't in fact, on average, men beat women in any test of physical skill. Men are stronger than women, so men are better suited for battle.

Not unless a woman trains more than a man. Woman still have a chance. It would be unfair to women not to put them in drafts.

That's right. I totally agree.
It's all about training.
And totally unfair.

And you know what?

The STRONGEST person I EVER knew was a woman.

So I guess we're gonna sit here and debate this anyway…

Not at all.

I'm not going all sexist. It's just that men are superior at some things while women beat men at others. It's all equal, but guys do some stuff better, while the dudesses can crush us men at other things.

Well sometimes a woman will crush a man at something and sometimes a man will crush a woman in the same thing. Yes, naturally men have more lean muscle, but woman can be stronger too. I think the words "men" and "woman" are too general to say stuff like this.

Sorry. I'll stop.

Let's all agree that it's a complicated subject.

I understand… It's just nice to have a safe space to just kind of talk without having to think too much about politics or feel like you have to defend your stance. I don't care if people have debate threads and stuff (as long as it's civil of course), and I tend to enjoy those, but this thread definitely isn't the place.

Sorry Bec, I shouldn't have started it

Nah. It was all me.

(Nah man I understand that. I'm just concerned about the sibling relationship of this and if being another protective figure in her life is doing more help or harm, but that honestly is none of my business. I have a brother kinda like that towards me and it really irks me a lot so yeah…)

The equality ideal is nice, but that's not the only reason. In whatever massive war that will come next, no matter who it is with, technology has improved to the point where the military would need more and more bodies on the ground and involved in the fight.

On the other hand, there still needs to be a group of people left untouched to continue running this country's economy, so who better than the ones who give birth.

Basically, I'm a bit torn on this matter.

Hardly, it was my fault for talking about the situation with the UK in the first place. If I hadn't done that then you wouldn't have said anything about the US. I take full responsibility and it will not happen again.

Lee, it's fine. You didn't start anything. You just wanted to rant about your country's faults and that's fine.

AHEM!

I'M CHANGING THE SUBJECT!

WHAT CANDY DO YOU THINK IS THE BEST?

Alright.
Nobody's fault.
Everyone shaddup.
New subject.

How are y'all?

AHEM!

I'M CHANGING THE SUBJECT!

WHAT CANDY DO YOU THINK IS THE BEST?

Those sour acid candies that when you eat enough of them rub your mouth raw enough to the point of bleeding.
Those are great.

Dark Chocolate caramels with sea salt

I'm one for chocolate and mint.

I love toostierolls!
They're my favorite and I don't know why people find them gross!
