Should distinctions be made between men and women?
No
What do you guys think of this statement that Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., made in a dissenting opinion he wrote to the 1923 case Adkins v. Children's Hospital?
It will need more than the Nineteenth Amendment to convince me that there are no differences between men and women, or that legislation cannot take those differences into account.
There's taking differences into account and then there's making the same behavior unexceptionable for one sex and a criminal offense for the other.
Regardless, as has been mentioned up-thread, this isn't a criminal issue in most states anyway; this isn't something the vast majority of women
want to do, although that majority would be a little bit less vast if it weren't for various other kinds of social and cultural pressures.
