then all men and women if they are going to be equal in all respects of military service must therefore be registered for it.

If a young man must do so with the knowledge that he could be called up, have a gun put in his hand, and be forced to kill for his country in order to get student loans and other government aid and services, then a young woman who now wants that same equality can do so as well.

Fair is fair. Equal is equal. Unless it is not.
