Read the excerpt from "For the ERA." There are objections raised to wiping out laws protecting women workers. No one would condone exploitation. But what does sex have to do with it?

The excerpt asks why protections against exploitation should apply differently based on sex. If exploitation is wrong, then all workers should be protected, not only women. Choice B states this directly; the other choices either misstate the laws or do not capture the argument for equal protection.
