    Age of consent laws are applied differently to each gender, it acknowledges differences. Age pension laws acknowledge differences in retirement age. I think we can agree open carry laws make people uncomfortable and that’s why most states and the people in them are sane enough to disagree with them. People would prefer to not know you have a gun and all the angst and discomfort that goes along with it, it’s not so much the issue of the gun itself.

        Ok, if we balance that can we raise the age that a woman can claim the pension and also get rid of government help when a woman becomes pregnant and has a child in a hospital?

          we raise the age that a woman can claim the pension

          Correct

          get rid of government help when a woman becomes pregnant

          Other way around. Provide free universal health care no matter the age, sex or previous conditions.

          But you raise an interesting point. For example, in the EU it is not allowed to discriminate when offering car insurance, but statistically men have more expensive accidents. The insurance companies are forced to accept the mispricing loss.
