The judge's ruling says, "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.”

Previous challenges were denied on the basis that women weren't allowed in combat, but now they're allowed in combat.

The following progressive organizations have indicated their support in this move for equality:

Fifth amendment eh? Never heard of that outside of that bit about testifying against yourself.

I'm very anti-draft, but IF you're going to do it, it's a more grey and complex situation than you first think. On the one hand, I'd be thrilled for women to join the battlefield as equals alongside men. On the other hand, there's also the potential for sexual assault not just if they get captured, but from their own fucking comrades, and... if they don't wanna be there in the first place, then yes, it's gonna make their lives even more hell. So many conflicting feelings, man...

Nobody should be supporting this, progressive or otherwise, because it's fucking stupid.

You're just saying this because you want all the womenz to yourself when men get drafted.

I love how feminists have been trying this for decades in the most liberal courts of the land and getting nowhere.

And now a bunch of MRA do it and get it done in one shot, claiming it a victory over feminism.

It's hilarious.

I myself am against conscription on moral and practical grounds (volunteer militaries are objectively more effective), but if we're going to do it, better get both men and women.

And yes, I'm one of them damn pinko cultural-marxist libruls from leftietown, and I'm a dude.

She's a bit old to be drafted.
