I personally don't think that *anyone* should be drafted if it is at all possible to avoid it. However, if a draft is necessary, I believe that woman and men should be drafted. As a feminist and a strong believer in equal rights, I do think that it's hypocritical to say that women shouldn't be drafted if men are.

On the other hand, there are many ways in our society where *men* have unfair advantages, so in a way, I am in favor of women having advantages where they can, fair or not. Of course, I probably would never admit this in a serious discussion, but I thought it might be worth mentioning here.

That's not to say that I would go if drafted, however...
