This is an image that you often feminists often posted when the US Draft was the topic of at the Congress. It was used to prove that feminists cared for men, fought for them and are really champions of equality.

But as you can see the reality is far from it. First, this article/talk seems to be in response to the danger of women being drafted. Second, it is obvious that the care of men is minimal. Their real issue with the draft is that because we live in a "patriarchy", women don't owe to fight for it (= it is less acceptable to draft women). Third, they call the Draft, an institution which forces men and only men to be canon fodder, misogynist. Finally, they talk about wars, events that result moslty in suffering, pain and death for men and boys (both civillians and soldiers/draftees) as something that affect women more than men and boys.

It is also worth mentioning, that they only TALK against the Draft. They did not act against it. This was only for their image.

Edit 1 : In relation to my first point, do you remember all the people who suddenly became anti Draft last year when women being drafted was a possibility ? They are all awfuly silent now, aren't they ?

Edit 2 : Another point is that giving the massive size of the feminist movement, if the only thing they can come with to prove that feminist fought against the Draft is a random talk/article, it tells you a lot about how little they cared about this issue since this is the only lips service they did. You can find almost nothing about the WORD, this tell you how little and insignifiant they were lol.

Edit 3 : This is as if men made a group to tackle rape of women because it was an insult for the victims' husband and then said "see we care about women".

Of course she’s a Karen

“Every war is a war against women” world war 2? The holocaust was about women? So the millions of children and men who died and were tortured to death doesn’t matter because women?

Are you kidding me? They single handedly claimed every single war ever fought and ever will be is against women. I just can't with this, so many people died in a war that didn't even involve them, and yet they're somehow the victim? I don't think women should be drafted simply because on average they aren't as strong as men, but they should have the choice to join. Burning a draft card is to spit in the face of everyone who suffered and died

It didn't take her long to turn it into an attack on women.

every war is against women? what? i thought they all were against old men who hate each other because one has something the other wants. then young men pay the price for their avarice

Even if they say their against draft, they won't act on it.

Even if they acted on it, women won't be forced into combat positions.

Even if women were forced into combat positions, they won't be forced to the frontlines.

Even if they were forced to the frontlines, women can just get pregnant. And then what?

And of course... Her name is Karen 🤣

This “no one should be drafted” argument is a total coup out. You can’t “end the draft”. You can end selective services but if America ever faced a truly existential threat, they’ll figure out a way to raise a draft army. National defense in times of crisis is something that falls to the citizenry Is it likely? No, but If we’re going to have the conversation we should have the conversation

Also the “women are the primary victims of war”’thing is absurd. But that’s to Hillary Clinton, we’ve all talked about this stupid argument

42nanaimobars · 2022-02-19T07:04:55+00:00

There shouldn’t be a draft.

Undidiridium_ · 2022-02-19T00:13:05+00:00

As a woman. I don't want to be drafted, the thought is terrifying. But at the same time, I'm sure any male my age is in the same boat.

So yes, we should be listed in the draft if we are truly wanting equality. And we should be tried and tested in the military as the same. Also how the hell does the patriarchy play into this? Joan of Arc fought and took command in battle. Like fuck off with that.

War is not a “patriarchal institution”… this sort of drivel is the reason feminism is a useless ideology. War is a sometimes necessary evil in human societies.

Hopefully if there is a draft it’s strength requirement instead of just men 🙏

Razorbladekandyfan · 2022-02-23T15:57:20+00:00

Yeah this is the "anti draft" activists that want to liberate men apparently.... Do you see why i dont have faith they will actually achieve anything?

SodyPops17 · 2022-02-19T02:14:45+00:00

That was in 1982 dude. Lets stick to whats recent and relevant. That was literally 40 years ago.

Feminism is a completely different animal than it was 40 years ago. Everything is.

They also made it entirely about them (typical) by insinuating that war effects them more than it does the men that are going there and dying.

It's actually one of the most deluded things i've ever read. They literally basically just said "yeah its all about us. Its all about me. Everything is".

Sperm40mmSprintChamp · 2022-02-19T18:26:59+00:00

Feminism never once cared about men being drafted until women were talked about being thrown in the mix. Then suddenly feminists care about men being drafted.

To these people, nothing is an issue unless it effects them as well, otherwise it's just the way it is.

DworkinPill · 2022-02-19T00:27:24+00:00

Feminism isn’t about women fitting into the status quo and society as it is. It’s about liberation. It’s not feminism to aspire to be the ceo of a company exploiting workers either.

Abstract_Knight · 2022-02-19T16:15:29+00:00

Well... at least she's against the draft.

That's something ig.
