What I am saying is, ideally no one signs up.
If that doesn't happen, if we say we have equality and men have to sign up..so do women!

That's valid. I disagree, but it's valid.
I assume the rational behind selective service is that should America ever be in danger, her sons, who are manly men, must take up arms or whatever. Adding women in sort of defeats that. Which, as I said, your argument is completely valid, I however strongly feel not adding more people into a faulty system is better, even if it appears unequal. With any luck, women won't be required to and this will anger people, like yourself and for valid reason, into saying it's unjust, but women will resist the requirement, and thus, the solution would have to be dissolving the system entirely. That's my ideal vision anyway.
