    You’re finding that policy sexist because it is! I always figured having equal rights meant having equal responsibilities. When I was in college in the early ’80s (shortly after registration started again), my roommate and I tried to register for the draft. After getting the card sent back three times with a note saying, ‘You must have made a mistake, you stated that you’re a female,’ we gave up.

    I’d say it’s high time we revamped the draft registration policies, but you’d never get a politician to go for something that would be highly unpopular. Sadly, I’m betting most of the people in this country would be horrified at the thought of ‘all those Mommies’ being sent to war. I guess we’re not so equal after all.

    My decision to stop shaving my legs was based on logic. I hated doing it, and couldn’t think of a good reason to continue. “Just because most other women do it” didn’t really seem like a good reason. My husband doesn’t mind a bit; in fact, the last time I did shave he asked me why I bothered if I didn’t like it.
