This is the same thing you're criticising - using one injustice to justify another.
- ck45 6mo agoI don't have intentions to justify an injustice. I'm saying why should we try to make it even harder for a disadvantaged group? It does not help a single German man if women also have to comply to this law. Fixing women's rights on the other hand gives everybody the benefit of living in a society that is more fair. For me, that's a valuable goal.
- jadamson 6mo agoYou may claim not to have the intention, but materially, it's what you're doing. Everyone doesn't get drafted at once. It stands to reason that drafting women would mean fewer men were needed.
