Except physical weakness is completely irrelevant. The military requires everyone to be able to meet certain standards, and if you can't, well that's what basic training is for.
And if you think I can't imagine the horror of being considered expendable... well, I am in the working class. I am not a woman, nor would I consider myself a man, though I do "enjoy" a lot of male privilege. I would also ask you: what do you know about being put on a pedestal, being "protected" and patronised? As men, we don't have to put up with that. We are not infantilised.
We really don't seem to be all that different. I'm paying for college with summertime factory work, and I don't consider myself much of a man either. And while I can't relate to someone on a pedestal, being "helped" is a fairly familiar experience, in fact it's why I don't tell people I have PKD (IRL at least. Anonymity feels good.)
If you want me to consider the terror of being a man, then consider the terror of being a woman. Now, if both roles are terrible, why keep defending them against critique? Not saying you do, but you do seem to oppose feminism. Correct me if I am wrong. But the aim of feminism, as far as I and others like me can be considered an authority, is precisely the abolition of those terrible norms. It will benefit us all, but especially those who are relatively underprivileged. Women, sexual minorities, feminine men, queer folk . . .
My opposition to feminism doesn't extend very far beyond certain... vocal minorities. But I won't waste your time discussing that. I also fully acknowledge that both roles are bad, in their own ways. Where we differ, it seems, is that I see it as a primarily economic problem, rather than a social one.

I'll take being "insulted" over being forced to fight and very likely die in some pointless war any day, and I suspect you would too.
It's not just being insulted. It's also being raped and or murdered, regardless of whether your country is at war.
It's also having your words dismissed constantly, regardless of what they are. It's having your very nature regarded as superficial and inferior. It's having your identity used derisively to belittle others. It's having people that know nothing about you decide what is best for your health in the rare instances that they bother to give your well being any attention at all.
The draft sexism is nothing compared to that. Child support sexism is intended, in part, to compensate for it.
If you don't like the draft or child support laws, fight them, but don't shit on other groups of people that are standing up for their own rights. Don't shit on groups of people that have less power than your own for not fighting for your rights while you do nothing but whine at them.
You're probably familiar with the US drone strike policy. If not, it states that all "fighting age men" are to be considered combatants. This is done in order to make it look like these strikes are more effective, but it also means men can and will be killed with impunity regardless of their actual status as combatants or not. There will also be no repercussions for doing so.
Nobody is saying that there's no such thing as misogyny, or that rape isn't a problem. That simply isn't what is being discussed, because nobody (here, anyway) thinks war is a fun time for all and there is therefore no reason to argue about it. I'd also like to know exactly where it was that I shit on anyone, let alone for not fighting for my rights.
