One reason, of course, is the different consequences of sex by the sexes. A woman bears a burden that a man doesn't bear: pregnancy.

Until not very long ago, you would have been absolutely right, and this is a reason our laws reflected this difference.

As we all know, however, our society has carefully eliminated any except minor differences in this regard. Most women, even many teenage girls, use contraceptives that prevent their becoming pregnant, and abortion is legal to quickly eliminate any pregnancy that occurs.

It's a total non sequiter. That contraception is available doesn't undermine the value of protecting female sexuality at all.
