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:

Uneducated…a hat trick of intellectual dysfunction.

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

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.”

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.

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.”

Conservative men. Again.
