I'm not sure I would call it naive, but to just
assert that the courts treat everyone equally... I almost find it kind of offensive. There are many people who have been disenfranchised by the courts. To claim that the courts
do, not
should, but
do, treat everyone equally is to pretend that those people and their situations do not exist.
I find that very upsetting, from a perspective of both feminism and civil rights, and oh... several others, too. And I don't think it should be presented as an opinion -- it's a factual statement that is either true or false, and I would say that this particular statement is demonstrably false.
