Most of those are gender specific anyway, just happens that one sex can reproduce and the other can't. #2 is bullshit though, men having to sign for the draft to even vote doesn't go beyond America though. 'Land of the free' Just ironic.

also i don't quite get the point with #3/4. Men can easily avoid parenthood by wearing a condom though. But despite that, the law is certainly one-sided otherwise. But how would you suggest it be changed? i'm not sure if it can be equalised due to the biological differences in both genders. Hard to call

And women can avoid abortion by wearing a condom so... It's silly to think the condom is the responsibality of the man only, the condom is the responsability of both.

The law can easily be changed, at least just by letting the man choose to not be the father of the child, be " under X " without being forced to do anything, like they allow for women even if the woman wants him to recognize the child and pay for him. If the woman has the choice to legally not take care of her child and give him up without being guilty and called coward, a man shouuld have that choice too

Why do people think men have no choices? If the mother doesn't want the child (not meaning abortion) the father has a right to full custody or putting the kid up for adoption. If he gets custody he would also get child-support from the mother. You got be kidding yourself if you think that women who put up for adoption or abort their child aren't thought of as cowardly.

Dont know where you live but it isnt like that at all in France, if a mother gives birth under X, she can get away with it, a man just cant do that, so the woman can choose to pay nothing for the child if she is under X, she has no legal obligation, even if the man gets custody, at the opposite, if she wants to raise the child, the man has a legal obligation and has to pay. So no, sorry, there is absolutely no equality here, it's totally unfair and should be changed. And i bet it's the same in your country but you dont know.

And about being seen as a coward, you got to be kidding if you think it's the same thing, never a woman will be seen like asshole because she leaves the child to adoption, while the man will be seen as the worst man ever if he doesnt respect his legal obligations, since the law says he must do it.
