If we have a law outlawing discrimination on the basis of sex, which we do, and you pass another law making an exception for, say, whenever businesses think it's advantageous to their businesses to treat the sexes differently, then you're sanctioning discrimination by law.

If you strike down the non-discrimination laws altogether, then you aren't sanctioning anything, merely not treating it as a crime. Likewise alcohol and drug laws.
