Then more men should be on board with the ERA.

The Dobbs decision is discriminatory against women. Family Leave is discriminatory against women in one way and against men in another way. There's tons of legislation that is discriminatory against women, especially when you get away from big ticket legal issues and down to the nuts and bolts of operational legislation. You just refuse to acknowledge it.

If selective service is such a hot issue for.men, then where are they? Why are you waiting on women to fix your problems for you? Every think that maybe they'll show up when you men do? If it's your issue, you men should be leading here instead of using a legit issue as some kind of a warped 'gotcha'.

Further, making things equally unfair for women in regards to selective service, doesn't make things equal or better for men. It just makes more people miserable and have to deal with unfairness. That's because the dradt is what we feminists call an intersectional problem. You get drafted because you're male and because you're too poor to pay for flat feet and bone spurs.

A better solution would be to end selective service altogether or to force lefislation that REQUIRES everyone who is responsible for declaring war to either serve themselves during each and every conflict they're sendint poor boys off to die in or send their own adult children. In other words, you can't declare war, finance a war, provoke a war, etc, without the rich putting some of their own blood on the line. Also, no exceptions. If you're too sickly to march, you can serve on supply lines. No outs for things like bone spurs. You have to be try disabled to the proven and documented point of needing a caretaker to get a medical exclusion.

Something along those lines would make it fair for all of us. It might also go a long way toward ending America's forever wars.

Food for thought.
