With women now admitted in combat arms, that reasoning is no longer applicable.
There was a meme during the Hillary campaign, #DraftOurDaughters, which now suddenly becomes relevant.

What draft?
This was inevitable; while my sons register as required, it would be a cold day in Hell before they were ever drafted while these feminazis marginalize them in terms of college applications, hiring, small business loans, etc.. The mutants who’ve commandeered our country can die for it as well.
“The male-only registration requirement of the Military Selective Service Act, 50 U.S.C. § 3802(a), violates the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution,” says Miller’s “final judgment.”
I agree, but can you imagine what a clusterfudge it would be to have to command random 20 year-old girls in combat?
Our government has fixed that; they will be commanded by 30 year-old girls. I wouldn’t be commanding anyone except my own family and tribe.
“Equal protection” means “we can do anything”.
I don’t blame the judge. The SC has to limit the use of this Amendment.
Good. Why should young men’s lives be considered disposable by the government but not young women’s lives?

Wait until they start drafting the Burkha Babes.
I have one daughter already in...the other would join in a heartbeat as a commissioned nurse, if needed.
Screw the females that would have to be “forced” to join thru a draft.
Actually, this sounds logical and fair. If one is going to enjoy the rights, privileges and immunities of citizenship, one should also bear the responsibilities. Registering for the Draft, if we ever have to resort to a draft again, is not an unreasonable burden to place on a young citizen.
In practice, I do not think our military services would have much use for drafted cannon fodder these days, of either sex. If the Selective Service were expanded to cover other forms of National Service in addition to Military Service, it might make more sense. If we ever NEED mass numbers of trainees to perform work for which there are not enough volunteers.
Civil War II will feature a new Confederate Army made up of straight males. No women, no faggots.
My oldest daughter did 10 years in the Navy.
Good for her!
Nowadays, anyone less than about 30 would be a disaster on wheels.

Actually, on reflection, I can think of a job for which we might draft both male and female citizen ‘soldiers’. Border Guards. The proposed (and under construction) Border Wall will need garrisoning and monitoring. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week of boring look out duty, with the sentries calling in the Border Patrol professionals if they see any incursion. Two years of manning the watch towers (like the forest fire look out towers of not so long ago) is not too high a price to ask a youngster to pay for the right to vote, and all the other rights, privileges and immunities of citizenship.
\Why should young men’s lives be considered disposable by the government but not young women’s lives?
because men do not give birth?
I’ve said forever that true feminists should be screaming, protesting, and suing in Federal court to have equal protection under the law and demand to be included in mandatory registration for selective service. But as usual, these “bake that cake” Social Justice Warriers who decry gender assumption suddenly remember their birth sex when it comes time to register for selective service.
