If the draft is reinstated, I will NOT waste my time trying to alter
it so that women are drafted, I will fight so that *no-one* is
drafted...

As a feminist, my goal is that everyone is respected, and that the
earth is respected -- not that everyone is oppressed equally! The
draft is, I believe, one of the areas where men need liberation.
