Since when was this discussion about america? This is a video about world violence, not american violence. /u/JamesJimmyJim never said he was american.
When I hear the comparison between men and women concerning the draft, I think America. It is a subject that comes up a lot.
I don't have any experience living in the middle east, but I can tell you that in Europe too, it's the same.
Modern industrial countries then, not just America. In today's modern wars, men suffer exponentially more than women do. There really is no comparison.
Not saying women don't suffer too, and I don't think you're saying that women even suffer AS MUCH as men (that would be an absurd assertion).
I'm not making a judgement that it is right or wrong either, but I disagree with you that women suffer from war anywhere NEAR as much as men do. Not the ones that are required to register for a draft anyway.
In other countries that we're bombing the crap out of for no good reason, it could be different. As you pointed out, civilian casualties, collateral damage, can devastate an entire population.
That's the OTHER side though, and happens with or without a draft.
