There's also the complex integration of law and language to contend with (Law, at it's core, is heavily dependent on wording and globally accepted definitions as a starting point). Current debates surrounding the definition of genders and especially gender fluidity makes it far easier to undermine established precedent as legal wording that was clear for decades shifts to being "open to interpretation".

I'm sure I'll be accused of having a one-track-mind here but the simple fact is that it's currently not possible to discuss issues affecting women without discussing the shifting gender paradigm. I strongly suspect there are intentional aspects of this.
