I know the idea of “mens rights” will make most people wretch, roll their eyes, sneer, or screech with outrage; but really, that’s what this is all about.

The right to equal treatment.
The right to equal access to children.
The right to bodily integrity.
The right to equal education.
The right to equal protection.

And the right to autonomy of ones body.

The right not to have your body signed away to the state, to be used as a meat shield, by the millions, in someone else’s war.

To be forced, by law, into the military draft, purely by virtue of your gender.

And the right not to be mocked by presidential candidates when doing so.

Of course, there are many rights women lack too, but that doesn’t mean that men have them all, and always have.

Just take a walk to your local war memorial, or visit the sea of graves in the military cemeteries, and ask yourself, how many men and boys choose such a fate, and how many more will have to follow?

What do you think?
