18 yr old and registering for Selective Service

[Anonymous]

Men made the rules and men can change them. I have daughters, so I’m not taking responsibility for changing the way selective service works. If my daughters were required to register, they would, but someone else can fight for that.

In other words, you see the inequality but it benefits you so you'll ignore it and hope that it doesn't change. Definition of privilege right here.

It's fine. You'll pay for the entire wedding, right?

Call me conservative all you want.

And, thank you, men.

But you're ok with my son going to fight for you and your daughter. This is why you all get a bad name.

I'd vote against all selective service but that's not on the table.

I have no idea that we are supposed to sign up for this. My 18 yr old son did not know about it. It could be because he was only 17 when he went to college having been greenshirted and all by me.

And btw I don't know who you are but it's not very smart to generalize or name bad names to people you don't know.

I’m truly stunned by the ignorance in this thread. How in the hell could you not know that your boys have to register? There is just no excuse for that kind of ignorance. Kinda hope some of you get fined.

Men should pay lower taxes because of this, and the IRS notify them as soon as they become 18.

Ironically, it IS a privilege — one that originated from gender discrimination that worked against women. I didn’t make the rules. I’ll play by the rules, but no, I’m not going to expend any effort fighting for my daughters to do something I wouldn’t want my son to have to do either. I’m sorry we live in a world where this is necessary for anyone.

State and local taxes on military including retirement have wide variation. If work location includes combat zone or hazardous area defined by the Fed govt Fed taxes might be zero. Could still owe state and local. Horn of Africa Jan 2023 deployment

Men should pay higher taxes because we wound not need police if it were not for them. Or jails.

Until the Equal Rights Amendment is enacted, women shouldn’t have to register for the draft. If our government doesn’t recognize us as equal, why should we be forced to fight and possibly die for our country?

NP here - I guess. THat said, there are only so many hours in the day, and if I have to prioritize fighting injustices, this one is pretty low on the list.

It's pretty high on the list since I have a son. I don't want him dying because some as**ole decided to send our boys to fight for the oil interests.
