I think it's also very important to mention that though it may be "legally" seen so black and white in the US, this country was built by a very specific perspective. The options that our laws have are very biased, especially when it comes to gender, sexuality, religion and freedoms. It is old-fashioned, messy and hard to modernize. You can't deny that the laws are generally decided by those who do not see from the perspective of gender being such a gray, complex issue, therefore our laws reflect that.
It is all one huge opinion.
