It's not a cop out your just grasping at something irrelevant. If you criticise feminists for not demanding they be subject to oppressive laws in the name of equality, you criticise whites for not demanding they be subject to anti-black laws or straights for anti-gay laws. There is no logic to equality of oppression, and that's not what feminism stands for.
Feminists demand equal rights under the law. By law, men have to register for the draft. Being able to volunteer is completely different.
Quite, because the draft is
not a right, the ability to volunteer for service
is.
Also, some feminists do indeed say they want equal treatment. So it's hard to take you seriously and especially when you seem to be keen to draw attention to the silly things you say.Some want equal treatment to men, in all aspects, even outside the law. For instance, I've seen feminists who get upset if a man decides to hold a door open for them or to pull out a chair for them. Obviously it's not all, but some do indeed behave that way.
I suppose you could say those people aren't "true" feminists.
Silly is what you get when you tragically misinterpret someone's point yeah, but your intellectual shortcomings aren't my problem.
And what feminists want is fair treatment, forcing someone into service is not fair, debate whether chivalry is outmoded or not in your own time.
On the other hand, why are you comparing holding a door open to the draft? That seems vastly varying in scale. mmm
