I never saw the movie The Patriot, so I can't comment on that.

And now apparently, since men will be conscripted, women want to be conscripted too?
For me, it's about equal rights and responsibilities. I don't want women to be drafted; nor do I want men to be drafted. But if women are demanding equal rights in everything else, we should also be demanding the right to fight and die for our country. We can't only have the happy parts; but the not-so-good aspects of What It Means To Be An American Patriot.

Imagine if my wife gets conscripted and has to fight in some foreign county and I don't get conscripted
I imagine it would be roughly the same as if you were to get conscripted but she didn't. What am I missing here?
