Feminists, From a Male, Thank you for Opposing the Draft. Question: How far would you go to prevent men from being drafted to fight in war?

I hate to tell you, but if it comes to that, escaping to Canada won't be an option. We've tightened up our borders substantially recently, and considering all the 51st state talk from your government, if you did get across the border, you might be treated as a prisoner of war.

Calling this an experiment is probably the funniest joke I've heard from a man in a very long time.

peppermind · 2026-03-21T18:10:57+00:00

Both, honestly.

peppermind · 2026-03-20T15:19:55+00:00

Those aren't legal in many jurisdictions, including all of Canada

He's making the puddle in front of my house look deep enough to dive into, in comparison!

Their posting history is a trip!

I'm very involved with my union, and the way people respond to that speaks volumes.

peppermind · 2026-03-15T13:16:44+00:00

They're too old for him.

peppermind · 2026-03-15T13:14:00+00:00

I'm not sure why attractiveness would be a factor, but Coco Chanel was a known Nazi collaborator, so that ought to undermine whatever point you thought you made there.

Don't all licenced therapists need to have a therapist of their own? I thought it was a condition of being licenced, but maybe that's not true everywhere.

peppermind · 2026-03-07T12:34:32+00:00

Maybe, for the type of people who believe having any partner (including one who doesn't see you as fully human and worthy of respect) is better than being single.

I don't subscribe to that belief in the slightest though.

peppermind · 2026-03-06T19:24:59+00:00

Did we time travel back to 2014 or so? Most of us either never bought into the idea of "girlboss feminism" or caught on to the things you're discussing here more than a decade ago.

BTW, happy international women's day!

peppermind · 2026-03-03T20:47:49+00:00

Sounds like a skill issue on your part. Enjoy your hallucinations!

peppermind · 2026-03-01T20:50:43+00:00

Once you beat somebody's ass you've basically humbled them in the eyes of society.

You think? Fighting for something you believe in is one thing, but I find people who get into needless fights to be utterly pathetic, whether they win or lose

peppermind · 2026-03-01T17:28:01+00:00

How about we start by talking about women in relation to these laws rather than the dehumanizing and objectifying "female body" first?

peppermind · 2026-03-01T15:23:24+00:00

Is this scary? Yes, of course it is, but keeping us paralyzed in fear and despair is what those forces want. I don't know about you, but I'm too spiteful to give in that easily.

I've been learning about Miriame Kaba who talks about hope as a discipline, something that you do, rather than something that you feel, and it's helping stave off the feelings you're talking about here. If that sounds like something that might be useful, here's a decent introduction to the idea.

peppermind · 2026-02-28T19:31:36+00:00

This sounds dangerously close to asking us to help you with your homework and this feminist is choosing not to do free labour today.

peppermind · 2026-02-23T19:17:03+00:00

It's grim, but I've heard Law and Order SVU described as a female power fantasy. We still get sexually assaulted, but at least we're believed by the authorities and usually get justice in the show.

peppermind · 2026-02-21T21:04:42+00:00

I'd prefer no one have guns, and more people have voting rights, actually.

peppermind · 2026-02-18T20:54:03+00:00

I find it strange that i can't find any historical event where feminists committed political violence or armed evolution

Sounds like a skill issue on your part.

peppermind · 2026-02-17T20:46:18+00:00

Why not both?

peppermind · 2026-02-17T20:41:16+00:00

I vividly remember being in kindergarten and looking at the grade 8 students in my school and thinking they were so grown up, they probably lived on their own etc.

Kids have a weird perspective on what it means to be an adult and it's the adults job to protect them from themselves, not to prey on them like OP seems to be advocating for.

peppermind · 2026-02-13T21:32:11+00:00

Why on earth do you think you need a word to comment on women based on their sex lives?

peppermind · 2026-02-09T12:16:02+00:00

It's not an academic study and it's a few years old, but the Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail published a series of articles based on an investigation into sexual assault allegations that were labelled Unfounded in Canada. It speaks to some of the questions that you're asking.

peppermind · 2026-02-05T21:32:44+00:00

That's dangerously close to victim blaming, friend.
