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?

Conservatives men.

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

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.

Uneducated…a hat trick of intellectual dysfunction.

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.

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.

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.”

(Well, okay, they don’t say “eligible” because that’s a four-syllable word, but you know what I mean.)
