Equality?

This question i put may prove to be unpopular. many people have got angry with me for even questioning it, but i still feel i would like a wider opinion than the bozo's in my local pub. so here goes.

many countries and nations claim to give the citizens thereof total equality of oppurtunities of jobs, education and the such. Women and men work and compete for the same jobs equally. however i feel that there is not total equality here. now, i understand that many countries and nations allow women to voluntarily join the armed forces, which is of course good as it provides equal opurtunities. however in a situation of exteme war, such as a world war, no countries (correct me if i'm wrong) will draft women in to involuntary military service as they do men. to me this sounds like inequality.

i will leave it at that for now.

You might want to try out that phenomenon known as the "Shift" key. Anyway, about your accusation, do you actually have any proof? In any case, i don't think anyone will really care.
