I feel that if we "call the bluff" of the feminists and start requiring women to register for the draft as men, that they will start backing off a little and they might not be so quick to keep pushing the envelope in the future. It is my opinion that if we continue to reassure them (the feminists) that there never will be any call to draft women, that they will continue to push for women to assume ever increasing roles, even combat roles. Right now, the feminists are fighting this on principle and for political gain as they are feeling confident that nobody will ever call them on it. But I am telling them to put up or shut up.

And in the meantime you apparently are willing to risk the lives of many American women who have no dog in the fight. How wonderfully, marvelously gallant of you.

Please do explain. How would their lives be risked if they are not being drafted for combat roles (which I have already stated several times but you evidently have a reading comprehension problem). And where are all these women with "no dog in the fight." They sure didn't speak up or raise a fuss when their "sisters" were making all these social changes on their behalf. If there are all these women out there who don't believe women should be in the military, shame on them for not speaking up when it could have made a difference.
