ACLU: “Requiring only men to register for the draft reflects the outdated and sexist notion that women are less fit to serve in the military and that men are less able to stay home as caregivers.”

Women are less fit to be soldiers and men caregivers.

“Such stereotypes demean both men and women.”

No, they don’t. “Stereotypes” based on realties demean no one.

Also, if anyone gets the better deal here, it’s women.

The push here is to make women susceptible to CONSCRIPTION.

It would open NO new choices or opportunities for women — in no world is “being able to be forced to do something against your will” a “opportunity”.

That is a RESTRICTION.

ACLU: “We’re disappointed the Supreme Court allowed one of the last examples of overt sex discrimination in federal law to stand.”

Don’t worry, you are busy removing rights from women to pander to trans activists. That’ll generate plenty of overt sex discrimination for you.

ACLU: “The road to full equality remains long, but we cannot allow one of the last remaining vestiges of gender discrimination written into federal law to continue.”

“Full equality” of this sort, where there is a RELEVANT ONTOLOGICAL DIFFERENCE, is not desirable, nor required.

Justice is based on the NATURES of things, and men and women have different natures.

This is why you can’t owe a dog money or do a platypus an injustice. They aren’t that KIND of ENTITY.

Different races don’t have different NATURES. The sexes DO.

Albeit the real distinction between male and female natures is supervenient upon and subordinate to the common human nature shared by both men and women.

It is necessary to determine what justice requires of COMMON HUMANITY first, and secondly, what differences for sex.

Two errors, equally simplistic:

1 “Men and women are different, so they don’t deserve equal justice in ANY cases.”

2 “Men and women are the same (qua human being) so they must be treated IDENTICALLY in ALL cases.” 

No, neither.

The correct answer is “When the difference between men and women is irrelevant, justice requires the same treatment of each; when it is relevant, it doesn’t.”

Since the difference between the two sexes is based on a difference in natures, this will amount to systemic differences in what justice requires for men and women.

Is it wrong “to hit a girl”? Differently wrong than hitting a man?

Yes.

Since the difference between races is not a difference in natures (there is no “white nature” — Critical Race Theory notwithstanding — nor “black nature” etc.), justice requires systematic similarity of treatment.

Exceptions exist, but will be case by case, ad hoc.

It is not, for example, an injustice to hire a white actor to play e.g. George Washington, nor a black actor to play Martin Luther King, Jr.

The examples wherein racial discrimination is NOT an injustice are so obvious and trivial that they really only ever come to mind when some total-equality zealot tries to criticize them, e.g. the trans activist or fat activist demanding that everyone be attracted to their group.
