The Senate Armed Services Committee released their version of the NDAA which will eventually be discussed by the Senate. As we’ve been expecting, this version of the NDAA would require women to register with Selective Service by replacing language associated with men (“males”, “men”, “his” etc.) with gender-neutral language (“individuals”, “their” etc.).

But this provision is not equal. The bill actually explicitly states that women won’t be forced to do any physical roles, so even I this bill women get special protections.
