Some irrelevant paperwork does not mean men have fewer rights than women.

If it's just "irrelevant paperwork," then why do we have men do it and not women?

Historical inertia. There's really no other point to it.

https://www.sss.gov/register/benefits-and-penalties/

A man who fails to register may be ineligible for opportunities important to his future. He must register to be eligible for state-funded student financial aid and employment in many states, most federal employment, job training under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act and U.S. citizenship for immigrant men.

If required to register, failure to register is a felony punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and/or 5 years imprisonment. Also, a person who knowingly counsels, aids, or abets another to fail to comply with the registration requirement is subject to the same penalties.

Sure seems unfair to punish one sex for not filling out "irrelevant paperwork" and not the other. Almost like, in this instance, one sex has fewer rights than the other.

Someone clarified that pregnant women have fewer rights than men, which also means they have fewer rights than women who are not pregnant. Without getting into that discussion, I'd like to know how you think women who aren't pregnant have fewer rights than men in the US.

Whooptie shit. You're blowing that all out of proportion. Just because there's a whole bunch of penalties attached for historical reasons does not change the fact that it's irrelevant paperwork.
