Neither do I, but if the draft were to be reinstated, I wouldn't have a choice.

im against drafting, period. but since it does happen, i thhink it would be fair to also draft women. men are not better/stronger than women and most of todays society knows that, they're just too lazy to update the law.

Men are naturally stronger than women. I think women tend to be more emotional than men as well (menstraution and what-not) so that may also be a "weakness" (for lack of a better word) of militarizing women.

I think that women should be drafted. Women have argued for years to be treated equally amongst men, but so far they've only been fighting for certain, opportunistic areas. This is in no way a "men are better than women" response, just pointing out that if women want equal rights, you should get equal rights in everything not this and that.

This also brings up many fronts that have failed in this. Example: Women aren't allowed to serve in combat anymore. (I think.) They can serve in the military, however, yet not in combat. Say, average DnD nerd gets drafted to the military. Lanky, non-muscular and passive. I'm sure there are thousands of women that would operate better in a war situation than he would.

Yes, women should be required to sign up for the Selective Service, but should be given a much lower exemption age than men.
