Democrats are very likely to lose their majority in the House of representatives in Congress. This means that this might be the last year in which the NDAA could be made to include women in the draft registration.

SCOTUS really dropped the ball on this one. I can't imagine if there was such a blatant sexist law on the books that negatively affected women that they would say "well there's legislation in the works that might fix it so we won't overturn it now".

The democrats are feminist, this bill was never meant to pass and they knew it, they just wanted our votes.

Democrats are still better than the republicans, but don't be mistaken, they will never do anything for men.

They would never pass this, they don't want true equality for men and women and use it every year as a bargaining chip to get something they want out of the GOP.

It is an extremely common negotiating tactic, throw in stuff you are willing to sacrifice to gain things you want.

The beginning of it all (do watch, very eye opening)

To be specific, the House passed the NDAA with women in the draft, it was the Senate that filibustered their NDAA bill and thats why the whole thing fell through. Now that the Democrats seems to be losing the House, we won't be able to even get the bill pass it, for AT LEAST a Decade. So its important we act now because if Republicans win the majority, that issue wont be fixed.

Disclosure- I am anything but left wing.

What makes you think democrats care at all about sexism towards men? Especially of that man was born male and is white?

I've seen nothing but demonization from democrats. So much so that any claims of sexual misconduct on the part of a white man are thought to be prima facia true. Remember "believe all women"?

I have been saying this for a while now.If any changes are going to happen to the selective service it has to be done now.We can not wait until the next NDAA or later to take on this inequality in the law since it is uncertain if the NDAA will include a provision to expand selective service and we don't know what the results will be in the midterms as mentioned here in this post.The best thing to do although unlikely because of everything going on right now is to push congress to address this issue as a standalone issue by getting someone in congress to bring the selective service up to the congress floor.This can be done by telling our representatives to cosign the selective service repeal act or to write new legislation to expand the selective service law. In the meantime please sign my petition that calls on congress to either abolish the selective service system or expand it by requiring everyone to register. As soon as my petition gets enough signatures i will try to have a meeting with my representative to show them the petition and about making changes to the selective service law.

I agree with you. The democrats at least need to uphold equality in name. Maybe they're not the best to address other issues, but on this specific issue it is extremely unlikely that Republicans (who have a different idea on gender relations) would side with our cause.

We should be more concerned with abolishing the draft than pushing an evil to address an evil.

Quite a few republicans were opposed to women registering for Selective service too.

McGauth925 · 2022-06-20T21:19:19+00:00

We aren't ready for it as a culture. We still think women should be protected. It doesn't matter at all that that's sexist and a privilege; feminists have too much clout to let it happen, women have too much clout to let it happen, and too many men believe women should have that privilege, and that an important part of being a man is protecting women and children.

I don't expect that to get any votes; I just think it's the cultural climate at this time, and that I don't care who doesn't want to hear that.
