I'm not sure why everyone immediate response is "Those damn feminists want more privileges!" when it's not the women that decided this rule all those years ago. It's not because women were 'more privileged' by any means. It's because, back in the days this rule was conceived, people (men and women alike) believed that women were more helpless and needed more protection than men.
