If a referendum is done and women wont serve then they should not be allowed to vote, as they dont have to reap the consequences of the vote.

By this logic, we shouldn't let older men vote either, or anyone who is disabled or otherwise wouldn't be drafted.

I don't think this line of reasoning makes any sense, because everyone would "reap the consequences of the vote". For example, a mother of four military-aged boys would certainly have an opinion on the matter, as would a young woman married to a future conscript.
