Interesting thread, I wasn't aware that men had to sign up to be drafted before they were allowed to vote in the states, that is nuts.

Very strange with the thoughts on abortion, while it's true that if the father wants to have the kid and the mom doesn't there is nothing in the law to stop her from just going and getting it terminated, if it was the other way around and the dad wanted the kid aborted against the mothers wises there would be outrage.

Some of these things will generations to change really, at the moment when there is talk of gender equality it's people talking about the far more important topics... like princess peach being rescued by Mario! that stuff needs to stop long before we worry about trivial things like being drafted to war and equal rights over children.

Just out of curiousity, you don't think if we had more media that shows women rescuing men such as Peach saving Mario that our perception on the draft voting arrangement would change?

Have you seen Anya from gears of war? :o when she digs the retro lancer into something and holds it over her head before splitting it in two... damn. But no I don't think characters in video games or movies really have that much bareing on what happens in real life, sure you don't have TV shows where men hit women anymore to calm them down but that isn't because TV dictates that we don't hit them it's that games and media are a mirror of what goes on in society for the most part, if it was to be too different from the normal roles people play then the media would not be believeable and it would break the willing suspense of disbelief for the viewer.

After that she calms down and lets him examine her stomach which is why she was stopping him in the first place, her planet didn't have men who were allowed to touch women without their consent and Bones tried to check if her baby was okay... one good 60s tv smack made her see straight tho! See this didn't stop being shown on TV and then that echo'd into us not hitting women irl... it very much goes the other way around.
