50 U.S.C. §3802

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter it shall be the duty of every male citizen of the United States, and every other male person residing in the United States, who, on the day or days fixed for the first or any subsequent registration, is between the ages of eighteen and twenty-six, to present himself for and submit to registration at such time or times and place or places, and in such manner, as shall be determined by proclamation of the President and by rules and regulations prescribed hereunder.

I guess growing up in an America where the government literally did come for my neighbor's sons makes that an easy question.

No, you can't have an abortion because we said so.
No, you can't take that drug for your condition because it might have a different effect on another condition.
No, we won't charge him with sexual assault because you were wearing a low-cut blouse.
No, we still won't charge him with sexual assault because he's young and it'll ruin his life.
No, it's not sexual assault when it's just boys being boys.
No, we won't hire you to perform this job unless you sue us in Federal court and force us to.
No, we won't pay you what a man makes for the same job.

So, to answer your disingenuous question about how they are coming for our daughters, the ways are myriad and still accumulating. That list was just a few off the top of my head. It covers corporate, military, legal and healthcare.....there are many more.

As for insults aimed at you, they are in your imagination. Just because someone makes or rebuts a comment doesn't make it an insult or even necessarily directed at you. It's not surprising that you take them so personally though, since even a cursory glance at your posts will show your tendency to somehow just know what are people are thinking or what their motivations are for saying or doing a particular thing. If your feelings are hurt by people disagreeing with you then that is on you, not them.

"Coming for your daughters" means that they are coming to pick them up and take them somewhere. Everyone who read that understood it in that sense.

Wrong, as expected. You are the only one who didn't understand that comment as it was intended.

Don't come for me, bro.

Red Herring: Using Irrelevant Information as a Distraction

A red herring is a piece of information that’s meant to distract people from something important in a misleading manner. Red herrings are usually used either as a literary device, such as when an author uses a side character to divert attention from another character, or as a rhetoric technique, such as when someone responds to a question with unrelated information in order to hide their refusal to answer the original question.

When it comes to rhetoric, the use of red herrings is often referred to as the ‘red herring fallacy’. The red herring fallacy is a logical fallacy where someone presents irrelevant information in an attempt to distract others from a topic that’s being discussed, often to avoid a question or shift the discussion in a new direction. For example, if a politician is asked how they feel about a certain policy, they might use the red herring fallacy by discussing how they feel about a related topic instead, to distract people from their failure to answer the original question.
