Why Women Should be Required to Sign Up for the Draft Too

Even though the likelihood of a draft is virtually non-existent, I think that women should have to sign up for it like men do. In the U.S., guys are required by law to sign up for the draft on their 18th birthday. It just always confused me why women are not required to sign up like men are. In this day and age of equality how did this slip through the cracks? Do feminists try to lobby so they could make it mandatory for women to sign up for it?

Some women could be serving on the battle field or maybe like a sniper in the distance; one of the most successful snipers of all time was a Russian woman named Liudmyla Mykhailivna Pavlychenko during WW2 and was credited with 309 kills. But just because a woman would be drafted doesn't necessarily mean they would all be out on the front lines. Other women off the battlefield could help with medical care, IT and technical support, auto mechanics, laundry, food prep and the list goes on. I think now more than ever women should want to fulfill their responsibilities as equals.
