24. It would be very liberating

I think it would be a huge step toward freeing and de-sexualizing women. It would possibly mean the end to body shaming, and unrealistic beauty standards. It could possibly even end the practice of rape. Think about how it could render moot the underlying tension that makes gender such a fraught issue.
