  • https://www.sss.gov/register/benefits-and-penalties/

    A man who fails to register may be ineligible for opportunities important to his future. He must register to be eligible for state-funded student financial aid and employment in many states, most federal employment, job training under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act and U.S. citizenship for immigrant men.

    If required to register, failure to register is a felony punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and/or 5 years imprisonment. Also, a person who knowingly counsels, aids, or abets another to fail to comply with the registration requirement is subject to the same penalties.

    Sure seems unfair to punish one sex for not filling out "irrelevant paperwork" and not the other. Almost like, in this instance, one sex has fewer rights than the other.

    Someone clarified that pregnant women have fewer rights than men, which also means they have fewer rights than women who are not pregnant. Without getting into that discussion, I'd like to know how you think women who aren't pregnant have fewer rights than men in the US.

  • "Experts reject" carries no weight in today's landscape. It does not rule out the experts who could approve, of which there always are.

    Classic cherrypicking to support an agenda. This case, it's because they don't like the death penalty.

  • American here.

    While a lot of the ire directed towards America is warranted, a lot of it is just jealousy and envy from people who are coming online in poorer nations and realizing how little influence they have.

  • Did you notice you get more support from one sex over the other?

    I find it hard to believe that the average male would be more willing to care about a transperson's feelings over another male's. I can easily see the average female being the opposite, though.

  • I dunno, for me it's painfully obvious what the correct social media successors are.

    Lemmy for reddit.

    Friendica for facebook.

    Pixelfed for instagram.

    Mastodon for twitter.

    Matrix for discord.

    Peertube for youtube.

  • Good point. The "follower" mentality is still a foreign concept to me.

    I don't think I'll ever be able to wrap my head around what goes through the average instagram user's mind. I forget that a lot of them are eager to follow instead of lead.

  • The problem is that we're no longer discussing his original point. The goalposts have been moved.

    If we're talking specifically about pregnant women, then he should've said that so people understand that's what he was referring to.

    Trying to paint it as "all women" because sometimes some women are pregnant is disingenuous. It tells me that he's avoiding telling the truth because it hurts his argument.

    What event is Donald Trump referring to here?
