If they are fundamentally different and can't be made equivalent, then having a male-only draft in no way compensates for women having to give birth. Which directly contradicts your first statement that it is a valid counterpoint.
- kendallpark 8y agoMany things can't be made equivalent, yet we try to "balance the scales" anyway. If you get assaulted then sue your assailant for damages, that monetary compensation isn't going to be equivalent to the physical and psychological damages you sustained.
