Yeah, this is a pretty common straw-man argument...
Frequently hear it from the conservatives whenever some oppressed group decides to speak up and demand the equal rights they are due.
You hear it about various minorities, gays, blacks, women, whatever. For the most part, they all want to be treated equally; have equal access to privileges, be treated equally under the law, receive equal pay for equal work, etc.
And as for the front lines bit - do you have any idea how long and how hard some of these feminists have been pushing for the right to serve combat duty in the military? And the women who currently are in the military aren't treated so hot either, there is rampant sexism and outright misogynism in the armed forces, particularly in your more traditional units like the Marine Corps.
For what its worth, I am against the draft. If we can't get enough people to volunteer (misnomer if there ever was one...) for the armed services, then we need to reconsider what wars we are fighting, and how we are compensating our troops. What ever happened to capitalism? If you can't get enough workers, offer higher wages and better benefits (or better yet, stop screwing people out of the benefits already promised to them...)

It only takes one fertile (hetero) male to keep a mammal species populated, while it takes more females because they have a more limited window of reproductive ability (the whole biological clock thing), and can only reproduce so quickly within that time (and then there is an assumption that not all of the offspring will survive, so more of them are needed to compensate for that).
But in a world where we have, if anything, global overpopulation- you're right, there is no tangible benefit to saving more of one specific sex when we're dealing with a small scale tragedy like a ship sinking. The whole ship can go down with everyone onboard and it's not really going to make a difference in the global population.
And maybe its easier to withdraw from life
With all of its misery and wretched lies
If we're dead when tomorrow's gone
The Big Machine will just move on
Still we cling afraid we'll fall
Clinging like the memory which haunts us all
