1	Big Facts. You said: "Women will by and large not be putting their lives on the line in the event of a draft." If women are drafted, women will be putting their lives on the line.	/r/PussyPassDenied	04/10/20 09:39 PM
1	Big Facts. Women do put their lives on the line in support roles. Also there are no barriers to women to be in combat roles in the Air Force.	/r/PussyPassDenied	04/10/20 08:51 PM
1	Big Facts. I work in Hollywood where everyone is pretty progressive, and I know a lot of people who agree with me on this.	/r/PussyPassDenied	04/10/20 01:30 PM
4	Big Facts. If there is ever a draft, that means things are pretty bad and we need to mobilize. If someone is not suited for combat, they can easily work in another area. I know plenty of women in the US military, and they are all in support roles. The military is huge.	/r/PussyPassDenied	04/10/20 01:18 PM
2	Big Facts. Feminist here. I believe in gender equality, as do all of the feminists I know in real life (lots of men and women). Twitter feminists are not a good representation of actual feminists--they're just the loud, obnoxious ones. Most men and women who work in Hollywood are feminists, and I definitely wouldn't call them all hateful. Dramatic maybe, but not hateful. The fact that guys have to pay child support for kids they never wanted is not the fault of feminists at all. It predates feminism. The i…	/r/PussyPassDenied	04/10/20 01:12 PM
1	Big Facts. Lobby for it, then. The real issue is that the government reeeeeeally doesn't want to get stuck with the bill, so they are highly incentivizes to force parents to pay child support. They also don't want women to have abortions, or birth control, so if the supreme court goes the way it seems like it will, more women will be having kids nobody wants. So to eliminate the need for men to pay child support for kids they never wanted, you'll need to 1) lobby for a better social safety net, and 2) whil…	/r/PussyPassDenied	04/10/20 01:05 PM
36	Big Facts. I agree. If anyone is to blame for this situation, it's the government, not women. They don't want to get stuck with the bills, so they require child support. If we could figure out a way to get better social safety net, we could eliminate the need for child support altogether. And of course if we lived in a world with good sex ed and cheap or free birth control, this wouldn't be a big issue. Free IUDs would be inexpensive compared to a lifetime of welfare or child support, just saying.	/r/PussyPassDenied	04/10/20 12:58 PM
6	Big Facts. As a feminist, I believe if men have to register for the draft, women and NB people should have to do so too. Many feminists agree with me.	/r/PussyPassDenied	04/10/20 12:08 PM
1	Cloyd Rivers knows I actually lurk in that sub a lot because I'm writing a thing about witches at the moment, and from what I've observed the women in that sub don't take themselves very seriously at all. Yeah some of them practice wicca or whatever but for many others it's just a place to be weird and support other women. I'm an atheist, but I can see why some people turn to spiritual stuff. They don't want religion but they need community and just something to help them make sense of the world. These are weird t…	/r/PussyPassDenied	02/02/20 01:02 PM
1	Cloyd Rivers knows That's what I'm saying, the name is outdated. The term arose when women and men's rights were WAY unbalanced, and women were like, "Hey we would like some autonomy please." When my grandma was young she couldn't do shit without her husband's permission. Now women have (mostly) achieved autonomy, but not total equity. We are getting much closer to equity than ever before. So "third wave" feminists have realized that we can shift focus onto how old patriarchial thinking affects both men and women …	/r/PussyPassDenied	02/02/20 12:52 PM
3	Cloyd Rivers knows Feels a little outdated now. Warfare has changed since the 20th century. If we have a war of massive scale with modern weapons, civilians are going to be in just as much danger as the soldiers. We also have a LOT more people now--a century ago, the world's population was less than 2 billion, now it's over 7 billion.	/r/PussyPassDenied	02/02/20 06:58 AM
7	Cloyd Rivers knows Nobody should have to sign up for the draft. But as long as men are required, it should apply to everyone. Didn't the Supreme Court rule it unconstitutional last year for only men to be required? Why hasn't the law changed? Edit: I identify as feminist, for the record. I know I may invite downvoted by saying this, but there are non-hypocritical feminists out there. I think "the patriarchy" harms everyone, including men. It's not right that men and women expect men to quietly endure mental health…	/r/PussyPassDenied	02/02/20 03:12 AM
