It is taking a sexist law farther. By taking something we all agree is sexist and instead of working to change that part of it--we make a move that accomplishes nothing except a token show of solidarity--but actually more permanently entrenches the original sexism, because nothing changes outside of this forum.
This looks to me like a form of rationalization.
