You neglect to mention that it is also inslting to men.
Not that that should matter, of course. Only men are draft-eligible, and only women are oppressed.
You not only missed my point but you are a humorless ass as well.
The issue is not oppression of women, but rather why men feel that referring to other men as being a part of a woman's body should be insulting at all.
It implies that women are, by nature of possessing said anatomy, lesser, and therein lies the insult. You equate a man with a woman and, voila, you have somehow made him a lesser being. Nice.
I think the draft should come back and I think women should be eligible too. I think it would make us a lot less eager to enter unnecessary wars.
Oh, and I'm not oppressed. Men like you, who are weak enough to think that a comparison to a woman somehow automatically lessens you, aren't strong enough to oppress me.
