BREAKING: The U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee's intends to require women to register for Selective Service as part of the National Defense Authorization Act for FY25.

I don't see what adding women to Selective Service gets us beyond pushing the feminist and DEI agenda.
My argument against drafting women is a cultural one. Healthy societies that aren't in extremis don't force their young women to go off to war. I'd argue that just like dying cultures send their women out to be prostitutes, healthy cultures balk at forcing young women into the military. But that boat has already sailed. Healthy societies don't have a 41 percent out-of-wedlock birthrate. Healthy societies don't surgically mutilate kids. Healthy societies focus on family formation and they don't treat random homosexual pairings the same as marriage. We obviously are not a healthy society and this surrender to the false god of sexual equality just lets us know the war to save our culture has been lost.
