I've encountered a fair few MRAs online. While there was plenty of homophobia and misogyny and gender essentialism and just generally piss-poor thinking, there were also serious problems being raised.
Thing is, I think the serious Men's Rights stuff is mostly misunderstood/misplaced/misdirected class anger. Were they to take a class analysis perspective, they may find a much more fruitful view of the matter.
In the US, you still have a draft. As I understand, it presenty excludes women,
In the US you have to
register for the draft when you're 18 (if you're male). But we dont have an actual draft (military conscription). The draft ended at the end of the Vietnam era in 1973. The military is all-volunteer now.
But if Iran and Saudi Arabia go at it in the Middle East, and Iran draws Russia in, and the Saudies draw us in, and it becomes August 1914 all over again we could start the draft again for WWIII!
