There is no unified "woman" vote bank , so no politician bothers with updating laws when it will not win them votes . The day women start voting as women , politicians will jump through hoops to pander to their slightest whims ( and thereby get their votes ) . Pretty much. Here in the states there are tons of inane and outdated state and local laws that are basically ignored untill a fundy starts taking them seriously.
