Fuck drafting.
That said, in the case where it's legit necessary (which... has there ever been?), that's an absolutely reasonable stance to take. Or they could, you know, not make gender a drafting barrier.
The only useful thing the average woman can do in a military is help keep morale up, and that's usually a counter-productive effort because all it takes is one schizophrenic whore to divorce-rape a man into suicide, and now the morale of an entire company is shattered.
Women can't ruck, can't lift, can't carry, can't set up or tear down camp, can't deal with adverse conditions, and attempting to do so produces lifelong injury almost universally within the first enlistment.
The few who can hang with even a sub-par man don't make up for the fact that every thing their comradettes in arms can't do must instead become a secondary responsibility of a man in the unit, because they still need to eat, still need to sleep, and still need to .
Two men may march 80 kilos of gear over twenty kilometers by splitting it 40/40, but if you want a man and a woman to make it to the end at the same time, you're going to have to split it 65/15, and after two years the woman's going to be on light duty indefinitely until the end of her enlistment.
False. In a predicted to be very long protracted war, women can give birth, to replace combatants.
You want those women to be civilians. They're performing a function with military value, but not part of the military.
