Bill: Protect the Women Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Capitalist Working Families
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: October 3498
Description[?]:
| This is simple and straight-forward: it allows the Rutanian military to bar women from serving in combat positions in the unfortunate case of a war. Why??? Is this bill sexist?! Of course not. However, in the unfortunate event of war, society should seek and PRESERVE the *women* b/c they are the ONLY ones of our species who can get pregnant and bear children thus enable the country to RE-populate itself after it has lost millions of citizens to an act of war or terrorism. Men are and have always been expendable (meaning just one man with 300 million sperm cells can impregnate thousands of women in one shot if society needs RE-populating in the event of a war. All in all, this bill is common-sense. The C-WFP yields the balance of its time. NOTE: This bill has been ENDORSED by the Rutanian Women's Independent Forum & Concerned Women for Rutania organization(s). |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Is this bill sexist?! Of course it is. It is the definition of sexism. I also think the Hon Gentleman needs a biology lesson. Both males and females are required in the bearing of children, as there are no examples of human parthenogenesis! The idea that "one man...can impregnate thousands of women in one shot" is also clearly incorrect. As a result, the idea that one particular gender must be "preserved" but the other is "expendable" is ludicrous and sexist. Jacob Bentley, Solidarity Spokesperson for Defence |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, "Both males and females are required in the bearing of children, as there are no examples of human parthenogenesis! "--WSM (1) Yes, both males and females are required in the *Reproduction* PROCESS, but according to Biology 101 and human experience, I have NEVER heard or seen a male "bear" any child or get pregnant (some biology lesson). (2) Ask your doctor to confirm our biology: the average man produces 300 million sperm cells per day while the average woman produces only ONE egg cell per MONTH....and then once the woman is pregnant she *cannot* ovulate again until 9 months (nearly a year). (3) In the event of our population being radically decreased from an act of war or terrorism, if there is 1 man to every 5 women ratio, can that 1 man simply impregnate all 5 women in one shot?! However, if women are dying on the battlefield and the ratio is reversed to 1 woman per 5 men, according to physics and biology (ask your doctor), then that means ONLY one of those men are going to impregnate that woman. Therefore, it would be harder as a nation to RE-populate. The C-WFP yields the balance of our time. |
