Letter: Only women should pass laws that only affect women

Related Topics: English modal verb, pass laws, Yes

Would a group of white men want a group of black men to pass a law that only affected the white men? Would a group of men want a group of women to pass a law that only affected the men?

I believe that legislatures made up predominantly of men have no right passing laws that affect women. A legislator should recuse himself from voting on a bill which will not affect him; but will affect another group of people. Yes, that's the point. Only women should pass laws that affect only women.
