I don't necessarily 100% disagree with this statement, moreso that the draft is a completely inefficient method to accomplish this, given the reasons I stated.

But if pushed, I would still stick to I don't really care about the "fair".

Men and women are just different, no matter how often we get blasted by the vocal blue haired twitter minority that they are the same at everything.

No argument there. 

We need to keep in mind that if there is a draft that will mean we are in one or two major conflicts/wars, and that essentially all of our 1 million reservists were already activated, along most of the 400,000+ national guardsmen.  So it's highly unlikely.  But if the draft is necessary it will only be because we need all hands on deck.

How unfortunate for you. Hate is a strong emotion, save it for someone you actually know and have had a negative interaction with.

Women have no business in a foxhole unless it's to cook meals or have sex with the troops.

Congress is on verge of including women over 18 in the military draft: Republicans slam bid that could pass next week as a bid to further 'ridiculous' political equality 'row'
The provision is included in this year's National Defense Authorization Act
The NDAA passed the House with a decisive 316-113 vote back in September
It was also approved by the Senate Armed Services Committee this summer
Bill text would replace 'male' with the gender-neutral term 'person'
A phrase in the Selective Service terms banning discrimination based on 'race or color' will be updated with the more progressive 'race, color, sex, or gender'
Chuck Schumer told fellow senators in a letter the NDAA may come up this week
