For instance, the "women's court" I talked. Which is part of a law called "law against violence on women".

I will give you the official explanation and the one with more consensus on the feminist movement. Even tho I don't really understand it for reasons I will explain later.

The law defines violence against women as "violence that it is applied to women just for the matter of being women". This assumes that this kind of violence only applies to women being hurt by man. This is the consensus, this is the slongan.

I do not understand it as I do not understand what it is to be a woman, to begin with, so I cannot understand that explanation.

But I understand that there's a lot of people, that call themselves women, that are hurt by people that call themselves men. And some legislation that tried to specifically protect the group that is being targeted seems ok. Like really if this are the figures, if men are hurting women more than women are hurting men. And if we had had s "neutral" legislation that did not solve this issue before... It seems logical, at least to me, that maybe it is a problem that should be tacked on a gendered perspective. Maybe it is something gendered on that kind of violence. And thus maybe gender needs to come into place.

I don't know if giving an example is the best way to go about this. And in whatever example I come up with I certainly won't be comparing "women" with that example. I'm just trying to exemplify other cases when "neutral" legislation may not be the best approach.

For instance, different legislation on children and adults, or when adults hurt children, being different that when a kid hurts and adults. Again, and this is important, women are not children. It is just an example where differentiation may be needed to solve a problem.

You will notice that I didn't brought the "women sports" example here. It is the classic issue on this matter. But for me sports are not important so really, I could just get rid of all professional sports and get done with it. Though if I liked sports the question would be similar, as I get why some people want to have gendered segregated sports. I also get with a trans woman should be able to compete in women league. And I also get why if we just adhere to the "being a woman is just saying so" approach then there a place for fraud in cis males breaking the women league. I'm glad I just don't like sports because it is a complex matter too

I don't know. I'm not 100% on board with one opinion or other on the matter. I would really just want to do whatever leads to better society, with less violence. But I don't know the better approach here.
