Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• Option "Because strict scrutiny doesn't apply to women" is incorrect as strict scrutiny can be relevant in some gender - related cases, just not with the same frequency as for racial/national/religious minority groups.
• Option "Because men are not a minority in society" is irrelevant as the question is about laws targeting women, not men's minority status.
• Option "Because women are not a minority in society" is correct. Strict scrutiny is often applied to groups that are minorities (in terms of political power, social status - not just population count in all cases, but women as a group don't fit the typical "minority" for strict scrutiny as they are half the population and have different dynamics compared to racial/national/religious minority groups).
• Option "Because strict scrutiny doesn't apply to racial minorities" is incorrect as strict scrutiny is commonly applied to evaluate laws targeting racial minorities.

Answer:

C. Because women are not a minority in society
