gender a potential handicap in the job market

Modern legal theorists are now discussing the wisdom of including sex or gender as one of the protected, or even suspect, classes. Their argument is essentially this: why do we define as a protected class persons who constitute approximately 50% of the population? Whether male or female, to include either is simply to say 50% of the population is within the protected class and the remaining 50% is not. Has American society evolved to the point that we should no longer consider someone's gender a potential handicap in the job market?
