That’s how it used to be(up to and including the Vietnam War), although there were ways to dodge it - just asked the current president, who faked bone spurs in his feet. You could also take a moral stand against the war like Muhammad Ali if you weren’t a coward who just wanted other people to fight instead of you before pretending that you were against the war later.
But back in those days women couldn’t work, couldn’t get an advanced education(look up “finishing school”), couldn’t file for divorce, and marital rape was perfectly legal. So it was worse for both genders...white men have never faced anywhere near the level of oppression that women do, even today.
Who has it worse, men or women?
