I was originally going to ask how many legal genders there should be, but I fail to see a compelling argument against 0.

I do think men getting conscripted because they’re men in kinda bullshit.

    There's a funny story here in the US about that. We were trying to pass the Equal Rights Act (ERA) - equal pay for equal work, and some Republican tried to tank it by putting in the bill that women would also be subject to the draft - apparently he figured that was so horrifying it would sink it. Supporters just said "yeah, that seems fair, good idea" and he had to scramble to take that wording out because he had so misjudged the situation. Still managed to sink the bill though:(

    Conscription is bullshit. If your war is so unpopular to your people that they aren’t volunteering, then you shouldn’t be at war.

    That one isn't a feminist law, that's a fascist one, under the fasc ideal "women are too weak to fight!"
