Women And The Draft: How Equal Do We Want To Be?

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 86%. (I'm a bot)


In 1980, four years after women gained entrance to America's service academies and during the height of the Cold War, President Jimmy Carter reinstated Selective Service registration for all male U.S. citizens, ages 18-25.

Elsewhere on the Selective Service site, equality is explained this way: "By registering all eligible men, Selective Service ensures a fair and equitable draft, if ever required."

I don't want girls to face compulsory military service either, even if only in a theoretical Plan B. But for 30 years, while our country has argued about equality and freedom, almost no one has mentioned Selective Service and what it means for men.
