Can you show me evidence of ‘feminism often speaking out against the draft’?

Also, how come you completely ignored my point about feminists ignoring fair representation in less-desirable jobs?

You started by talking about women’s “fair representation” in the draft. Since we haven’t had many big news controversies about the draft lately, I’d like to go on a tangent into what I know about, and inform you that one person has recently fought to ensure equal opportunity to join the military in the name of feminism, and his name is Joe Biden

“President Biden believes that gender identity should not be a bar to military service, and that America’s strength is found in its diversity,” the White House said.
