That doesn't make a lot of sense. First, we have no evidence that normal Maidens are affected by SEWs. Cinder was affected, but that's because she had a Grimm inside/attached to her.

Second, why would Salem, the only one the Grimm answer to, create a hereditary trait that only hurts Grimm? One which can be so potent that a novice with zero training, experience, or any kind of knowledge about her power whatsoever, was able to petrify the largest Grimm yet seen in a single blast. Her first blast of those powers no less.
