A Feminist Perspective on Broadening the Anti-draft Movement -- Ann Wrixon, former staff member of the Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors

The following is a slightly abridged version of an article that appeared in a special “Women and Militarism” issue of Draft NOtices, published in April 1986. It originally appeared in The Objector, a journal produced by the Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors (disbanded in 2009). We are reprinting it now because of its relevance to Women’s History Month in March, and it raises points that are still important to consider as we face a real possibility that women will soon be required to register for any future draft.

Congress is getting ready to sneak an expansion of the military draft registration into the next NDAA. If they succeed, young women will be forced to register for the military draft along with young men. This isn't a step forward for gender equality - it's a step backward for all genders! There is no "feminist" reason to choose the coerced militarism of a draft over ending draft registration. 

Tell your officials: The only feminist answer to the question of draft registration is to abolish it for all genders!

Activists fought the US military draft for decades — they may soon have to again

You may not have heard about this development because of the avalanche of COVID-19 news. In late March, a national commission urged Congress to mandate that all women between 18 and 25 enroll with the Selective Service System, the agency that oversees the military draft.

El registro de servicio selectivo merece una audiencia completa en el Congreso

La elección no es entre continuar con el registro de reclutas solo para hombres (que probablemente resulte inconstitucional) y expandir el registro a mujeres. La verdadera elección es si ampliar el registro a las mujeres o ponerle fin por completo. Los proyectos de ley para cada una de esas opciones se presentaron en la última sesión del Congreso y es probable que se vuelvan a presentar en los próximos meses como parte de la Ley de Autorización de Defensa Nacional anual.

Esta es una elección sobre el militarismo, no una elección sobre la igualdad de género. Ampliar el registro de reclutamiento a las mujeres generaría una apariencia de igualdad en la guerra (aunque es probable que las mujeres en el ejército aún estén sujetas a acoso y abuso sexual desproporcionado). Poner fin al registro de proyectos traería consigo una verdadera igualdad en la paz y la libertad.
