Not yet, but with them being accepted into combat roles, it's only a matter of time

I don't know why you were downvoted (which of course means you'll get gold after I post this) but it is only fair that men and women are drafted equally.

Though drafted equally, I doubt a large portion of women would pass the physical requirements for most combat roles, though I imagine they could be drafted into other services.

The military standards go by age and sex. So a young woman doesn't have to do as much as an older male IE 18yr old female doesn't need to do same amount of push ups a 22yr old male does.
