My point is that conscription was a major disadvantage for males, particularly lower class, lower income males, for over 100 years. Something that often gets overlooked. I don't see how that can even be argued with.

Now, if that meets your definition of "going after the women"..so be it. I've never taken your opinions into consideration in the past...what makes you think I'm going to start now?
