I am not speaking of revenge. I am speaking of the rule of law.

The long-held complaint by some women in the armed forces was that because they could not be in combat arms, they could not easily fill roles that led to promotion, and eventually to leadership (commonly over combat arms soldiers). That was where the military push came from - but it was a weak push.

Liberals decided that they could use the concept of “fairness” to enforce entry of women into combat arms. But, they do not want to extend that forced entry to the draft registration, despite their removing the single most important reason why women do not already have to register. To allow women in, but not require them to register, essentially makes all of the men who do have to register second-class citizens. In the name of “equality” we have made men less equal.

I believe that men should be the protectors, as well. However, I do not believe they should be the protectors at the cost of equal standing before the law.

If we shield our society from the natural consequences of the foolishness promulgated by the left, we doom our society to falsely believe that there is no harm done by leftists.

Revenge - even against NOW - is an idiotic reason for promoting the same equality in the draft registration law as is now enforced in the combat arms entry rules, in my (sometimes) humble opinion.

But the rule of law, in that same opinion, is of a different stature than mere revenge.

Did you even read my post? I made it clear I wasn’t accusing you of using revenge as a tool to force women to sign up for selective service. In fact, I wrote the opposite.
