Comments on: Churches Must Oppose Female Conscription https://www.aoiusa.org/churches-must-oppose-female-conscription/ A Research and Educational Organization that engages the cultural issues of the day within the Orthodox Christian Tradition Sun, 11 Feb 2018 11:33:54 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.3.3 By: Eo https://www.aoiusa.org/churches-must-oppose-female-conscription/#comment-299426 Sun, 11 Feb 2018 11:33:54 +0000 https://www.aoiusa.org/?p=14404#comment-299426 There is a justification in keeping women out of combat arms, but the rest of your post is nothing short of bizarre. Women don’t need or care about your obsession with their ‘inherent beauty and charm.’ Men don’t need your ridiculous insinuations that it’s also somehow okay for them to experience death and trauma.

If you’re going to argue that an infant isn’t obliged to ‘give up’ their mother then that would be no less true about their father. Your implications about men get disturbingly close to the misandrist attitudes of radical feminists. It’s infantilizing and insulting to everyone involved.

Your convoluted argument that drafting women is going to cause some sort of CO/pacifist epidemic is pointless since you have no evidence to back it up. Israel has drafted both genders for decades, and has clearly managed just fine. I thought that was going to be the strangest part. Then you top it off with a quote from the Narnia series, as if a children’s fantasy novel has the authority to determine policy.

It’s disturbing how you deny agency to women, and devolve men into simplistic caricatures. I hope you will let Christ work through you and others to reconcile your irredeemably toxic beliefs.

The God-haters and the indifferent have sown the wind. What can they expect to reap? God will not be mocked. The order of His creation will stand, for it is the only order that exists.

Difficult times are here, and more difficult times are ahead. But God is with us. Prepare…and prepare your children.
