Gender and Sex is not the same as race. If you want the government to treat men and woman the same, get them to pass the Equal Rights Amendment. But then women would be treated ACTUALY the same. In divorce, in the draft, in everything. If you REALLY think men and women are the same, then ya, it is the same as interacial marriage. But if they are the same, then why do peaple prefure one sex or gender rather than the other?
