the reasonableness standard
Explanation: Historically the Court applied a lenient "reasonableness" (rational-basis) test to sex-based classifications, which allowed many laws that limited women's rights. Strict scrutiny is the more protective standard that was not used for gender; "Jim Crow" and "separate‑but‑equal" refer to racial segregation, not the Court's usual approach to sex discrimination.
