Again, it's about picking and choosing which ones. Same as it more or less is for the men (as there is such a thing for exemptions for guys with very important jobs that pretty much only they can do. My grandfather was one of these, but was also a self-admitted coward who said he'd have made a shitty soldier anyway; he served better where he was, managing parts at Chrysler.) Of course, why the Group Ws get rejected is kind of beyond me, they seem like the ones you'd WANT to send away - you know, the mother killers, father rapers, and litterbugs.
If we are picking and choosing which ones based on logic and best fit we will send nearly no women to begin with. The very few women who make the cut (without lowering the standards massively just to bump up numbers like we do now) are not worth the cost they bring to unit cohesion, medical requirements, and HR related everything.
I'm not pro-draft for reasons you listed, but at least drafting men has some logical reason even if there is just as much logic against it. Drafting women is a meaningless gesture on top of the already meaningless gesture of letting women be "soldiers."
If we are sending women to war, we are already demographically fucked.
