Nobody has manifest earthly rights beyond their ability to defend and protect those rights.

Extrapolate…

If you arrived at the fact that women do not have rights beyond what men allow you would be correct. This is an obvious observation, not an opinion or a preference.

It is what it is.

True but is it not reciprocal, though through more passive aggressive means perhaps? Less encoded law and more social framing?

What social animal is not beholden to others, however gendered or sexed?

I’m not suggesting legal rights are equal between males and females but that the expression of the will to control is distributed unevenly across time and social circumstances. Every butch is somebody’s bitch … daddy issues had to have started somewhere, even if with the basic existential human condition of feeling abandoned by some ideal or another.

Curious as to your thoughts on this.

Interesting critical thinking! Seems like basic ethics but gender + politics are a complex mixed drink. It seems to depend on your master whether you are voluntold to serve as a woman:

“Whether women are required to enlist depends on the country and its military policies:

1. United States: Women are not required to register for the Selective Service (a requirement for men ages 18–25 for potential conscription). However, they can voluntarily serve in all branches of the military.

2. Israel: Women are subject to mandatory military service, similar to men, typically serving for two years. There are exemptions for religious, marital, or medical reasons.

3. South Korea: Military service is mandatory for men, but women can serve voluntarily.

4. Norway: Both men and women are subject to mandatory military service under a gender-neutral conscription policy.

5. Other countries: Policies vary widely, with most countries not requiring women to enlist but allowing voluntary service.

Let me know if you’d like details about a specific country!”

Here’s the living process:

“Recently, there has been discussion in the U.S. about requiring women to register for the Selective Service System (military draft). A Senate version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2025 includes a provision to expand draft registration to women aged 18–25. This proposal aims to make the process gender-neutral, but it has sparked significant debate and has not yet become law. The House version of the bill does not include this provision, meaning the two chambers would need to reconcile their versions before the bill can progress further .

Currently, only men are required to register for the Selective Service, and the U.S. has not enacted a military draft since 1973. If you’d like, I can keep you updated on developments regarding this legislation.”
