| AU CONTRAIRE!  I don't think that having women in the draft is sexist,
| it is NOT having women in the draft that is sexist.

It isn't the women's fault; NOW and a few other groups lobbied for drafting
women as well as men if there were to be a draft; DoD (or Reagan?  Or
even Carter?  I forget) quashed it.
