In America women have won ever major right given to man by law the right to vote, run for office, join the army, receive federal benefits for school and federal jobs. Yet the responsiblity of defending on this country only falls on men hands. Why arent women in america who complain for equal pay and equal rights not complain for this right. I think that the best people should fight for this country if needed. Also even if alot of women are not on the frontlines they can serve as tankers, pilots, and other combat jobs where physical ability is not an issue.

Because women aren't the ones who go around causing wars. :-)

The ERA amendment would have made the selective service system treat men and women equally, but it was not ratified. One of the main argument used against it was that you can't draft women. American is not yet ready for full equality, but it will come.

It's a stupid law and dates back to when women were considered weak and only fit to stay at home, barefoot and pregnant while baking cakes for their "man"

Because men like to fight, and we also don't want to lose any of our hot babes.
