[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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?[/quote]

WTF are you talking about? How are women not equal to men under the law?[/quote]

We don't have the right to choose medical procedures our doctors deem necessary; can you name a procedure men need to save their lives that they can't get because men created a law to stop that procedure?[/quote]

Sorry but bull crap. Women created that law too. As much as I agree that men have definitely drafted and passed majority of the laws in this country, including the selective service one, women are just as much to blame for the recent Dobbs decision as men. Women have as much voting power in this country as men do. Vote them out and abortion will be legal everywhere again. I see so many women crying murder when it comes to this issue and voting to have the rights stripped away from them.

Anything else? I said women are equal under the law and they are. They need to serve in case of a draft. Period. [/quote]

I think women should be sedated just like men but…

I don’t care who created the law it makes women not equal to have laws making medical decisions… can u name a law where men are denied medical intervention? NO YOU CANT.

Women are not paid equal.

Women are killed when they get pregnant and men are mad about it, more so than dying by child birth. Do men get murdered over unwanted pregnancy?

Women are murdered when they try to leave. Do women murder men during divorce ?

Men rape women and then get 18 months. Who created that law?

Women are not living in an equal world. [/quote]

Wait what????

I’m trying to have a logical discussion but you’re just spewing nonsense. No, men don’t die in pregnancy and childbirth because…..they can’t get pregnant. I think if women want to have equality that we have been fighting for it can’t be selective equality. It needs to be all or nothing. Otherwise you are saying you’re ok with men still deciding for you. You’re ok with men making the laws that impact you with absolutely zero input from you. I know being drafted would be hard, but guess what??? It’s hard for men too. My son had nothing to do with some outdated laws, but you are perfectly willing to punish him for it. If that’s not sexist, I don’t know what is. [/quote]
The fact that only people with female reproductive systems can get pregnant is the exact reason why the Dobbs decision is discriminatory toward women. Women are disproportionately affected by it. Women and men do not and can not benefit or suffer equally under Dobbs.

The same is true for the Selective Service. Men are disproportionately harmed by it.

Changing people’s minds, our culture, laws, power structures — none of that has been changed through “all or nothing” campaigns. You must have a specific, actionable goal that you’re working towards. Women weren’t granted the right to own property, have custody of their children, vote, join the military, etc., all at once. Change is incremental. As an attorney and activist, RBG made progress towards women being treated equally under the law by arguing a case for equal treatment for a man because he was being discriminated against due to his sex.

I’ll fight to overturn Dobbs. You find for equality in the Selective Service. If we are successful, everybody wins.[/quote]

I'm not even arguing that women are disproportionally affected by the Dobbs decision. Of course, we are. But not everything we do in society should be based on one asinine law. I will vote again and again to have safe, legal and affordable aborion for women. The rest I agree with. Change comes in incremental ways and perhaps just thinking about the outdated selective service laws is necessary at this stage.[/quote]
