This is exactly the problem. By differentiating people in binary gender in government legal system, it not only gives less rights to specific genders, which in partiarchal society is mostly women, but especially lgbtq people. For example, by strictly requiring men and women in marriage, gay, trans and nonbinary people have a lot of problems getting them. If only law reffered to every citizen as an ungendered “person” or “human”, it will solve many problems and make everyones life happier.
Alot of comments in this thread leave a bad taste so I’ll just say my two bits and peace out.
The binary gender system is harmful to all of us. We all have different roles in society, there are protectors among every gender regardless of AGAB.
Also yes, under our current patriarchal society men’s “protection” amounts to little more than the organized crime protection money racket.

Agreed on all accounts.
