CMV: Women should be required to sign up for selective service

All men from 18-26 are required to sign up for selective service and, potentially, be drafted, or they must provide a reason for exemption. If they do not, they cannot vote, acquire gov. loans, and may have to pay fines, etc. All for being a male, whereas women do not have to do this. However, women may serve in the military voluntarily, be a firefighter, or a police officer, so, in theory, they should be just as capable as men in combat. Further, if women and men are both able get these jobs, shouldn't they have the same responsibility as men to sign up for selective service? I believe womens' current exemption from selective service is discrimination towards both men AND women. If we are pushing for equal rights (feminism) shouldn't this policy be changed? Also, shouldn't feminists be advocating for this change as fiercely as they do with other inequalities? I do not believe a male should lose civil liberties for failing to sign up for something in which they have zero control over (gender), whereas women never have the fear of being sent to war or losing civil liberties.

Edit: I believe we can't have it one way and not the other. If women can be firefighters, entrusted with lifting grown men out of buildings, then they should also be fit for combat. However, if the gov is insinuating they are not fit for combat, then that is insinuating they are most likely not fit for other high stress, highly physical jobs.

Clarification: I do not seek opposing views for the existence selective service. My title was originally misworded, I meant to ask "CMV: Men and women should be held to the same standard in regards to registering for selective service"

Why should anyone have the fear of being sent to war involuntary? Why not advocate for nobody being forced to sign up for the selective service?

This argument has always been strange to me. The selective service is always portrayed as some sort of horrible thing men are forced into in order to receive their civil liberties, but the presented solution to the gender inequality is to force women into a system that's just been decried. It paints the men who make this argument as spiteful rather than wanting any sort of equality.

Like a little brother whining because their sibling gets to drive the family car, except instead of saying that they should be allowed to drive it they demand that nobody be allowed to drive it. Why advocate for everyone to be a part of a bad system?
