Do feminists want women to be eligible for conscription?

Asked by DominicX (28808points) May 29th, 2010

There a billion+ misconceptions about feminism, but it is my understanding that the goal is to make situations as equal as possible between the sexes.

So my question is (without really knowing any people who consider themselves “feminists”) do feminists want women to be eligible for military conscription a.k.a. “the draft”? Seems like that’s the most “equal” option.

Obviously, I’m against the draft in general and would like to see the whole thing gone, so I’m not surprised that people aren’t exactly fighting for this “right”. However, assuming that it’s going to stick around, should women be conscripted along with men?
