BREAKING: Sitting Senator Does Not Know About The Draft

Or vaccinations, or quarantine laws, or jury service... lots of things although the selective service is male only.

But the wider question is where the real bullshit comes in to play. Men have no fucking reproductive or family rights and women have plenty of them. The fact of the matter is that it's men who the government can and does force to become a parent, never women. How the fuck is that NOT a decision about a male body? How the fuck is making a man pay for someone else's kid even for twenty years or risk jail time, NOT a decision about a man's body? How is making a boy pay his rapist CS not about men's bodies?

Of all the moments someone could have yelled out in those hearings it couldn't have been to cut this in as a response come on

Don't forget anti-"manspreading" laws.

I love how no one is responding to the replies mentioning Selective Service (that I saw).

Is she implying there's laws that give the government the power to make decisions about the female body? Because the male equivalent will depend on what she counts as a female example of that.

The obvious thing that springs to mind would be if the government could force someone to undergo a change to their body. I can't think of any direct examples.

The next two potentially qualifying forms would be a) where the government forbids you to do something to your own body, and b) where the government doesn't prohibit others from being able to do something to it.

For a), there's potentially abortion for women (not that it's illegal anywhere in the US), but then there's the whole war on drugs that prohibits everyone from putting certain substances into their body. Also, case a) is complicated beyond the pure ideals by the introduction of the body of another (debatable) human, so it's not really about the female's body.

Case b), I can only think of circumcision off-hand.

Senator Harris asked if Kavanaugh could think of any laws that gives the government the power to make decisíons about the male body?

He couldn't.

Privileged individual blind to their own privilege.

She never had to sign up so it doesn't exist.

I can't think of any laws that allow you to kill someone for being inconvient either, but that gets ignored.

If she stands she'll feel it. :-)

How are women like this elected?

Neither could a supreme court nominee, apparently.

The draft, of course, not being a thing anymore.
