As A Female Veteran, I Think Forcing Women Into Military Service Is The Ultimate Battle Against Femininity And Womanhood

Had I continued to serve, I would be one of the U.S. military’s neglected victims of Marxism. I know there are thousands like me, individuals whose suffering is repeatedly and purposely overlooked because we don’t fit the biased notion of who is oppressed at any given time. 

As Marxism pervades society and leaves a murky trail of victims in its wake, it’s abundantly clear within the U.S. Armed Forces that protection of womanhood is not only no longer of interest, there is a war actively being waged to destroy it. Even worse, the war is being waged by some of the very people who are supposed to be protecting women – our military leaders. Ironically, they’re often the military’s most vocal activists of diversity.

Marxism in the Military

The military is currently being used as a miniature mock-up of Marxism’s ideal society in America. The military is ripe for this. It’s already a place where self-identity is broken down to transform various individuals of different backgrounds into a cohesive unit that can overcome bad guys. The broadcasting of gender differences is diminished through symbols like the uniform that prioritize the group over the individual and minimizes any form of self-expression, which is critical for the U.S. military’s mission, but which also mirrors Marxism’s goal of erasing any sense of individual control. 

At least when I first enlisted in 2013, there were still some mechanisms in place for maintaining barriers between genders that ensured women could maintain some privacy and decency while working alongside men in supporting the common mission of protecting national security. But with the dissolution of gender definitions and the rejection of appropriate gender boundaries, the ability for women to maintain any feminine dignity is gravely at stake in the military.

Mishandling the Volunteer Force Is Not a Reason To Punish America’s Daughters

Even though I joined slightly later than the average recruit, I was unaware of how naïve I was and that my experience in the military would attack the very core of my being, and not because of exposure to the horrors of war as I had anticipated. I’d read about the issues with male to female assaults in the military and had prepared mentally for such encounters. What I wasn’t prepared for was the verbal, and sometimes physical, onslaught of sexual harassment from female trainees. Worse yet was the confusion over harassment from individuals of undefinable gender. 

The military has programs and support mechanisms in place, even if they rarely work, for reporting and dealing with harassment and assault from opposite genders. The already broken system melts down when the harassment comes from someone who has an undefinable gender identity, who thus also has protected status and additional layers of legal protection. The acceptance of any victim status leans in their favor, not towards any victims of the predatory behaviors the individuals of undefinable gender might exhibit. This excessive deference and favoritism in the military create a graveyard full of invisible victims and undermines the effectiveness of our fighting force. 

I discovered that I could not maintain feminine attributes and not be victimized at every turn in the military.

This is a pre-existing problem that has affected countless women in the military. The U.S. Congress would aggravate it exponentially by passing the Senate’s version of the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act, with its inclusion of the requirement forcing all women of age to register for the selective service. This would set up every young woman in America to be included in any future draft and join the line of women already broken down by this system’s war on femininity.

One of the arguments used for opening the selective service requirement to women is that another draft is unlikely anyhow. The last one occurred in 1973 for the Vietnam War. Here’s the problem: As manpower in the military dwindles due to issues like poor leadership, culture problems, military sexual traumas, and the illegal vaccine mandate, the military faces a crisis of numbers. Not enough people are willing to voluntarily join and servicemembers are exiting or being driven out in droves. The all-volunteer force is becoming unsustainable as a direct result of broken policies and lack of support for servicemembers by their leadership, and all young American women are about to suffer for it. Well, I suppose it would not impact all young women. The healthy, fit, smart, drug-free, non-criminal young women who would be eligible for military service will be forced to serve. That already small number will not stay healthy for long because the military will needlessly put their health at risk without consent by pointlessly forcing experimental vaccines on them.

Reducing the Efficacy of the Military

When I voluntarily joined the military, primarily to serve my country, I intended to pull off something similar to Gina Carano’s combination of toughness and grit mixed with genuine femininity. I discovered that I could not maintain feminine attributes and not be victimized at every turn in the military, be it in the bunks, dorms, during mission, or in the bathroom. Marxism’s secretive entry into the military caused the stripping down of gender norms and resulted in the breakdown of the barriers that had once offered protection to women and their femininity. 

There are consequences to setting up men to be drafted into this environment; however, there is something deeper lost when we require it of all our women. There are many women who would choose to voluntarily serve, and their heroism ranks equal to that of every other servicemember. The problem arises when the law would demand all women serve. What happens to the men at war who discover the mothers of their children also got drafted? What about the men concerned for their daughters? There needs to be something worth fighting for, and that only happens if American families can carry on during times of war. Without our country maintaining some sort of separation between the masculine and the feminine, incredibly crucial roles during wartime will go unfilled. There needs to be something – a society, family, life, a home – worth fighting for!

Studies have shown that co-ed units are much less effective than all-male units.

On top of that, studies have shown that co-ed units are much less effective than all-male units. However, studies such as these do not appeal to the politician who has already made up his or her mind, convinced that Marxist ideologies are the direction America needs to go or is too fearful of defending our country’s classically feminine women, dreading political attacks and cowardly retreating from this immensely important battle within our society. Furthermore, the opening up of combat roles in the military to qualifying women is not a reason to pass a law forcing all women to serve. Many will never be able to pass combat-oriented tests. Must we force men to compensate during times of war for women flung into combat who are incapable, through no fault of their own, of taking care of themselves and those around them? 

Discarding and Devaluing Classic Femininity in Our Country Is Not Progress

By viewing all social relations as oppressive or conflict-ridden, the Marxist cannot reconcile the peaceful and complimentary coexistence of the feminine and the masculine. Thus, it makes sense that proponents of Marxism would encourage the adoption of a law imposing a very masculine requirement on women. This is not a way to protect and value women. It’s a cruel mechanism for driving out the very critical role of femininity in society. 

Not all women in the military will take issue with the proposed requirement nor will they have had as difficult a time as I had. Many military women have already succumbed to Marxist ideologies and have fully adopted its practices by the time they join. Modern military education indoctrinates many others. Some servicewomen already have more masculine temperaments and assimilate well into the military environment. Others develop masculine temperaments as a survival mechanism to cover up the vulnerability of their feminine hearts. Some may appreciate the attention they receive, which can be quite substantial, no matter how twisted. Others, who often pay dearly because of the extra attention, likely suffer quietly. This is a common response in environments where the gender lines have been clouded – it has also occurred in women’s athletics. Silent suffering is not an excuse to abandon the classically feminine women of this country, critical to many of the aspects of American life worth defending in any potential war.

Closing Thoughts

It seems insane that we have to defend the value of femininity and womanhood against the influences of Marxism in modern day America and the U.S. military. However, my argument is not for a more feminine military. The mission and the very reason for the existence of the military, to protect the country against foreign threats that often requires brute force, is an incredibly masculine mission and can only be weakened by creating a more feminine force. 

If we care about our society, the effectiveness of our military, and the well-being of our daughters and future families, we must not fall into the Marxist trap of destroying femininity by forcibly conscripting our country’s young women. Let’s protect both our country’s men and women by encouraging those who represent us to vote against a female selective service registration requirement.
