Why do men always bring up “the draft” (the last military draft was in 1972) when abortion rights are being discussed? - are they advocating that women ought to owe our bodies to the government? Should anyone owe their body to the state?

Why do men always bring up “the draft” (the last military draft was in 1972) when abortion rights are being discussed? - are they advocating that women ought to owe our bodies to the government? Should anyone owe their body to the state?

So basically, the dork-bollockses who are like “but but but but but but but but whaddabout THE DRAFT!!!!11!1” when normal people talk about issues like feminism or abortion are:

Conservative men. Not women. Not feminists.

If Fox News doesn’t show it to them and Andrew Tate doesn’t tweet about it, it doesn’t exist in their little world.

Conservative men. Again.

Uneducated…a hat trick of intellectual dysfunction.

Dumb; and

Why would calling me an incel help anything? How does that solve anything? Why can’t you actually be helpful and offer productive honest advice?

They don’t know about Google. They don’t know about history. They don’t know about politics. They live in a little hermetically sealed bubble of ignorance, getting all their information about the outside world from Fox News and Andrew Tate.

Hamas uses 100,000 human shields and no one cares. Israel straps one wounded terrorist to a Jeep to transport him to medical facilities and the world cries. What gives?

Conservatives men.

Ignorant; and also

And then antifeminists, who also aren’t the brightest tinsel in the pom, be all “hurr durr, if women want equality, durr, why don’t they say women should be eligible for the draft? Durr.”

Because men are dumb. Or at least, “men’s rights activists” are dumb.

Look! Also not a woman or a feminist.

MRAs are like “hurr durr, if women say they should have choice, durr durr, then what about, like, the draft, durr. We don’t get a choice about draft registration, durr, so why should women get a choice about having babies? That’s totally the same thing.”

And the answer is, feminists do say women should register for the draft, and have repeatedly tried to make it happen, and every single time it’s been blocked by…
