Of course. Such an argument would be sound. But the political reality would make any such a case untenable. I wonder what would be easier:
1. Rolling back the voting age only for women.
2. Dismantling Secret Service and forbidding drafts by constitutional amendment.
3. Requiring women to register for Selective Service.
4. Rolling back the voting age for everyone with a voluntary Selective Service, and then granting voting rights for anyone male or female signed up for Selective Service or active military service.

Even if in this case it’s voluntary because it’s obvious they’re willing to take the call of duty whatever that is and that contributes to our society’s continuity.
