Yep. This is a minefield created in modern times mostly by an effort to insist there are no practical differences between the sexes. Clearly there are differences, though raising them from time to time creates angst from all over the political landscape.
Keep on truckin!
are there differences between blacks and whites? Asians and occidentals? Arabs and Swedes? If so, then following your premise, everyone should be treated differently? The law applied differently as a rule?
I certainly don't "insist" there are no differences between men and women. Absolutely quite the contrary. I don't open my car door for a man, but I do for my wife and daughter.
