We should indeed make conscription equal. In the US, that means eliminating it. We have no use for conscripted soldiers.
Or we could make women sign up for the Selective Service. That would be a small waste of time for both men and women, since a draft is a bad idea. But if we can't eliminate it, making it equal would be fine with me.
