[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a boy and girl.  I had always maintained that with equal benefits of citizenship come equal responsibilities.  If women want to be full and equal citizens, they should be required to register.

Post-Dobbs, I say screw that. The state can now conscript my son to fight in a war and my daughter as a brood mare to “increase the domestic supply of adoptable infants”. Get back to me on registering for the selective service when women have bodily autonomy. [/quote]

There is zero chance you have a son. Zero!!! I call BS.

Well, I do. my oldest kid in fact. What makes  makes you think I don’t?.  That I believe my kids should have equal privileges and responsibilities?  Or that I’m angry about Dobbs?I hate the draft and feel strongly that my son should not be conscripted.  I hate Dobbs, and feel like my daughter can make her own choices. Because when it comes down to it, it’s the same issue: a loss of personal autonomy.

I also believe that boys and girls are different. For example, with teens, girls tend to struggle more with self esteem and social media issues and boy struggle more with executive functioning.

Here’s a dirty little secret: a man and a woman can share parenting duties equally. In fact, it’s great for kids to have two very involved parents. And boys can be feminists.  Go figure. [/quote]
