The biggest difference between us is that I believe all humans should be bound by the same rules and reason, you seem to think there should be different rules and reasons based on gender.

You are wrong about that. I too want that all humans are be bound by the same rules and reason.
However, I believe that in order to archive true equality women need to take on more responsibilities and accountabilities and men should get more rights.
I only want for men what women already have.
About 1.: Google „The Order of the While Feather“ — You can't abolish the draft. If you don't have a draft in law then something worse will appear in it's absences through the means of peer pressure.
About 2. & 4.: For those you could go the other way as well. No safe heaven abandonment and there is no real reason to have a separate rape and sexual assault law. One law could cover both.
I'm looking forward to the cognitive dissonance needed to justify inequalities to the disadvantage of men
Well, some of your issues are obviously about laws that are specific to where you live.
1 - In America, for example, Democrats passed a law last September (as part of the Defense Authorization Act) that DOES require women in America between 18-25 to register for selective service, just like men. It's not a requirement to vote, and it should never be. Such a requirement would allow malicious leaders to mold a voting population by choosing who to send off to die.
2 - Must be a law specific to wherever you are, I've never heard of such a thing. Neither women (nor men) in MOST states in America are allowed to legally abandon their parental responsibilities, unless there is already another guardian in place and all parties agree, AND a judge decides it's best for the child. If you live someplace that lets women abandon children and just leave men on the hook (which you almost certainly don't), then I agree that law should be changed.
3 - Another thing that must be specific to wherever you live. Female genital mutilation is still REQUIRED in some communities in Africa. America has laws that protect both sexes from any kind of unwanted physical mutilation.
4 - Is another one that depends on where you live. Many states in America are changing rape laws to be gender neutral. Making penetration a requirement for rape would actually favor women in rape cases, since it's possible to force a man to climax against his will (can we agree that would be rape?) without penetration.
Can you even SEE cognitive dissonance at this point? The amount of it that you employ to justify inequalities to the disadvantage of women seems like it would be hard to see through. Although I'm still not convinced that your problem isn't just reading comprehension... you argue AGAINST many of the points made by that article you wanted me to read 1000 words of. I'm not sure if it's because you're TRYING to make sense of that garbage, or just don't comprehend what you're reading. Either way, I assure you it will be easier when you let go of the hate.

Indeed. That's one of the things MRAs have been working on for decades. And maybe we will book a success here.
No the USA doesn't. Male circumcision is legal in all countries including the USA. While female circumcision is banned in most countries including the USA.
It's telling that you didn't know that circumcision is a form of genital mutilation or didn't make the connection.
To say it right away: male circumcision is equivalent to Type 1A female circumcision and yes, Type 1B to Type 3 are all far worse. I know that.
My point is: Type 1A is banned but male circumcision is not even true they are the same.
Interesting point and you are correct here. Mind you, I didn't mean it as an exclusive requirement. I very much prefer a single sexual assault law to cover all types of sexual assault.
Sounds like there may be hope for you yet. I thought about circumcision, and I do agree that it is genial mutilation. I left it alone because most people don't do it just to tear up their kid's dick, they wrongly believe that there are health benefits. Also, it's mostly a practice of only the Western world, as far as I know. Medical practice was only open to men when this belief in health benefits was impressed on people, but they could have been influenced by feminist lobbying... I have no idea. Some states in the US have looked at banning the practice on children, but I have no idea if they've made any progress. There's a lot of social stigma to overcome in the US, uncircumcised kids tend to get teased.
