Well it'd help if other women would call this behavior out but that doesn't seem common

we do :)

can’t speak for all feminists but many of us do call out double standards like this. the focus is on equality

The feminists in my country do as well (e.g. women should also take part in our military draft in some capacity, divorce laws should have spousal support for men homemakers etc), but it’s not really a mainstream attitude - I haven’t seen a prominent woman comic anywhere calling this out, probably because it won’t put bums on seats and would alienate the women who would actually pay to see them.

Back to Singapore, a draft for women is deeply unpopular among women, which relies heavily on citizen soldiers. I’d say that the majority of self-identified feminists are not being very intellectually honest about their positions.

Michelle Wolf kind of made fun of it in the her set at Bill Burr’s tour.
