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. |
This is nothing. In Brazil, if you don't sign for draft, you can neither go to college or have an oficial job (that counts for job years before retirement and has working rights).
Men only and it's in the top 3 of most pathetic things I know.

In the US, men have to declare themselves eligible for the draft in order to receive government-sponsored financial aid for college. Or at least that's how it was when I graduated from high school a decade ago.
