This sounds like discrimination. Only women can produce offspring? Too bad, so sad. Everyone serves if it is required.

It doesn't sound like discrimination, it is discrimination, tautologically.

The onus is on you to show that it is bad in this case. We discriminate routinely, children are exempt from working for example.

Can’t men just identify as women to avoid the draft?

No, changing your gender identity doesn't affect your selective service registration

I'm not sure why you're getting downvotes for this because it's a pretty straight forward question with a non-obvious answer.

Ever tried to actually "change your gender"? It's not really a thing you can do any more than "becoming gay" if you are straight.

I believe in the specific case of gender equality, the burden of proof is on the side which claims that discrimination is justified.

The genders are not equal, you're operating on fictional premise.

Well that's a bit daft, as men and women are as different as green and blue.
