Ask that bitch her opinion on women having fewer rights than men in this country, then tell her to sit down and shut up like good breeding stock

    How do women have fewer rights than men in the US?

    It's my understanding that men have to sign up for the draft, but women don't.

    Some irrelevant paperwork does not mean men have fewer rights than women.

    If it's just "irrelevant paperwork," then why do we have men do it and not women?

    Historical inertia. There's really no other point to it.

    https://www.sss.gov/register/benefits-and-penalties/

    A man who fails to register may be ineligible for opportunities important to his future. He must register to be eligible for state-funded student financial aid and employment in many states, most federal employment, job training under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act and U.S. citizenship for immigrant men.

    If required to register, failure to register is a felony punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and/or 5 years imprisonment. Also, a person who knowingly counsels, aids, or abets another to fail to comply with the registration requirement is subject to the same penalties.

    Sure seems unfair to punish one sex for not filling out "irrelevant paperwork" and not the other. Almost like, in this instance, one sex has fewer rights than the other.

    Someone clarified that pregnant women have fewer rights than men, which also means they have fewer rights than women who are not pregnant. Without getting into that discussion, I'd like to know how you think women who aren't pregnant have fewer rights than men in the US.

    Until they get pregnant and then women are drafted into the breeding stock army- answer to the state if you don't take neonatal vitamins, miss doctors appointments, smoke, drink, do anything the state deems risky to it's prodigy.

    So you're actually referring to pregnant women? You could at least say that so you come across as genuine instead of trying to pull one over on me.

    I'm not the one you originally responded to but pregnancy is something that affects many more women than war affects men, at least in the US.

    The problem is that we're no longer discussing his original point. The goalposts have been moved.

    If we're talking specifically about pregnant women, then he should've said that so people understand that's what he was referring to.

    Trying to paint it as "all women" because sometimes some women are pregnant is disingenuous. It tells me that he's avoiding telling the truth because it hurts his argument.
