Is Wizard law sexist? Was: General Rule of Law in the Wizard World, etc.

The discussion of common vs. civil law, primogeniture and entails has
been fascinating, but it makes me wonder: Law and tradition that favor
males (it seems to me) come into being because, not to put too fine a
point on it, men are bigger and stronger than women, and can make such
things stick.

True enough for Muggles, but not necessarily so for magical people--I
see no reason in canon to believe that witches are generally less
powerful than wizards.

If a witch is as likely as a wizard to win a fight, should we expect
that inheritance laws would favor wizards over witches?
