Policymaking for National Unity, in the Context of Special Rights

Case Study :

Recently, Malaysian trains have created special cars which may be occupied only by passengers who identify as women. In situations where the women-only cars are less congested, passengers identifying as men have asked why some women continue to occupy inclusive cars.

Abstract Concern :

Again, all policies based on the concept of special rights are structurally divisive to a common identity. This is just math. The issue to be addressed by policymakers is, GIVEN such policies, what other policies can be enacted to maximise the concept of a common identity?

Disclaimer: I am not questioning the divisive policies, or saying we should not have them. 😛
