Only Boys get drafted

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unk's Wild Wild West : One Thread

While waiting in line at the post office, I see the sign that tells all males of a certain age that they must register with the selective service. How come only males? I thought that the politically correct war featured females in all roles. How come people's daughters don't have to sign up to get drafted? How come this is cool with NOW? Or is this one of those areas where female as favorably discriminated object is still cool, like broke daddy springing for his 30-year old lawyer daughter's wedding?
