Why do men have to sign up for selective service but women do not?

I don't understand why one gender has to sign up while the other does not. Women are even getting in combat roles now, so why not both? Even before then there are still plenty of non-combat roles. In draft time it seems like every bit of help is needed. Also for any women on the flood, how would you feel about it? I doubt the draft will come back, but it seems a bit biased.

  • Because men are better troops in general. I don't think the military would want to waste money equipping women.

    a lil something called the dick act of 1903. and women are NOT held to the exact same standards as men in the military. make them have the exact same standards if they're going infantry, not double standards that unfairly treat women better.

      • I would think that since women are going to be moving towards active combat roles now that they would change this, but who knows. Personally i'd just be happy with them requiring femal recruits to meet the mens PT standards.

        • Now that combat roles have been approved for women, shouldn't they have to start registering also. We can already predict the response from the young women of america "Do you think that women should be allowed in combat roles?" Young women of america: "Yes absolutely. Women are just as capable as men" "Cool, you are also going to have to register for selective service, and be a candidate should another draft ever arise" Young women of america: "WHAT THE FU­­CK WAR IS FOR MEN. I DONT WANT TO FIGHT SOME DUMB WAR"

          you know the majority of your government is male, right the people who have the power to change this are, in fact, male. blame them, not women. i see a bunch of dudes acting as if women could just step up to congress and mandate it. [i]ha.[/i]

            Because women can have babies. In a time of great national crisis, when a draft would actually be necessary, it means our nation or our allied society faces imminent and catastrophic peril, and it's very possible that we would need healthy young women to bolster our population afterwards. The argument against putting women in combat roles is corollary to that statement.

              Because its the biggest honor a man can do. Our job is to protect children and the women back at home. I proudly signed up for this and if there is a need for a draft I hope I'm first in

              • If women want equality then they better be willing to sign up for the draft.

                • I don't even want to sign up for this. Too bad it's -blam!-ing required to get Federal Aid. But also, yeah. They might change it since women are now allowed back into combat.

                • Because a woman's place is at home so they can take care of the family while the man goes off and does a man's job. I dunno. It might change, with women being allowed to serve in combat roles.
