Turns out you can have your cake and eat it too.

A provision which would require women to register for Selective Service, granting them greater equality with men and making them eligible for a military draft, has made it to the floor of the House.

Elaine Donnelly, Pussy-Pass extraordinaire and president of the Center for Military Readiness, said "There is no justification for doing this - none," and called the bill "damaging legislation."

But now that provision has been stripped from the House defense authorization bill, proving all genders are equal but some are more equal than others.

Republican members of the House Rules Committee during a late Monday meeting stripped provisions from the annual defense authorization bill that would have required women to register for the Selective Service System.

The controversial provision narrowly passed the House Armed Services Committee last month, and was expected to be a major point of debate on the defense policy bill this week.

But Rules Committee members instead voted to cut off consideration of the issue on the House floor and strike that entire section of the bill. The unusual but not unprecedented procedural move avoids what could be a thorny debate for both parties over women’s rights and roles in the military.
