13th Amendment

So we have this amendment that prohibits involuntary servitude but we still have Selective Service. Does anyone see a problem with this or am I just being quaint in thinking that the Constitution of the United States is actually law.

Arguments:
1. B-b-b-b-but then couldn't get enough people to fight our wars. What war? There hasn't been a declared war since WWII. If the Congress (which is the only body that has the authority to declare war, they don't have the authority to "authorize" military action) and they can't get enough people to show up for it what does that tell you?

2. B-b-b-b-but we have to protect ourselves. From what? If we do have a problem just follow the law and declare war. Then take care of business and come home.

Side issue on feminism: It is noted that we do have this travesty of Selective Service. It is also noted that the feminist movement has not marched on Washington D.C. to demand that women be included. It is only men and that is sexist. I am defeaned by the silence on that issue.
Women should enjoy all of the human rights that men do. The concept of women's rights implies that they get something extra. In the full inclusion of women in our society they should be included in the full violation of natural rights. They should have to register in case we need another slave army.
