With the fight for equality in the military and the recent decision by the Army to open combat arms MOS's to women in the Army, being so much in the news and discussion, do you think that women of the required Selective Service age group should be made to register as their male counterparts are?

I mean they always complain about EO lol. If they want to be equal they should be allowed to be drafted but, it depends on who you ask.

Yes. Why is this even a discussion we should've been doing this for the last 40 years!! I recently was told by a dependent spouse (very sweet lady who I typically respect) that she didn't want her daughter to have to register.
Your sons have to and so should your daughter. I have a son and of course he will register and should God bless me with a daughter I would hope by then she would have the same requirement.

Yes, fair and equal treatment right.

With the current trend and push towards gender equity, women should absolutely be required to register.

Unquestionably. If you want equal opportunity, pay your admission fee like everybody else.

that is a really good question honestly I don't know how I'm going to answer that

I'm all for pure equal rights across the board . . .that means the bad and the good. Like the massive court bias towards women when it comes to property and parental rights, that needs to be equaled out just as badly as the wage gap.

Especially now in today's military women are finding themselves in the direct line of enemy fire. Some by choice others not. Ranger all now is trying to allow women to compete for the tab. Yes they should have to register since they are now getting exactly what they wanted all along. ... equal rights

Women want to be treated as equals, then make them do all the EXACT same things we have to.
