Contrary to what a lot of people are saying, a lot of these rules aren't in place because of legalities or protection. Many of these rules are about our notions of gender in this society. Legalities and protection tend to be merely post hoc justifications for the rules. When these rules were passed, and the fact that they are still in place, often reflects how little "gender roles" have changed.
The same applies to university co-ed housing and coordinate systems.
