So you’re saying that in addition to the rights we all have, women have additional exclusive rights.
No, I'm saying that women are SUPPOSED to have the same rights as everyone (e.g. complete bodily autonomy) but have their rights restricted in varying ways from state to state.
This really isn't that hard to understand. Women have had their rights restricted in ways that men didn't for a long, long time. It's so normal that you aren't even aware of it.
They got the right to vote later than men.
They got federal protection for their right to have their own bank account without a man's approval in 1974 for fuck's sake.
Is it so hard to recognize that women's rights are controlled in ways that men's aren't?
Female genital mutilation is illegal in the United States. Male genital mutilation is common practice. The discrepancies certainly aren't equal, but they aren't exclusively one-sided.
Let’s not forget that women have never had compulsory military service in the US either. I hear some things can happen to your body in war. I mean aside from it being mandatorily shipped away for months and years.
Yes, anyone pushing for that last inch of total exclusivity here has another think coming.
Name a state - or a country - where men have "(e.g. complete bodily autonomy)". All the examples I can think you might think are false, so either I'm missing something or I'm gonna challenge you so badly I van taste the endorphins (or I'll learn something, so win win for me)
Yes. For example in UK, women got universal voting rights whole decade later than men.
The comical thing is that women don't have the right to vote in the U.S., neither do men, they have the right to not be discriminated against when voting takes place.
e.g. If Florida says they will hold a vote by the population for representatives, they can't say women exclusively can't vote. But Florida could in theory state they won't be holding a vote for the representatives, and the currently sitting members of their congress will pick their representatives instead. Sign that into law and poof, they just legally removed 23 million people's right to vote
It’s not that hard to understand. Neither is “Men's rights very much do differ by state but not anywhere near as significant.”
If you had just been reasonable and settled for that, I woudln’t be deliberately winding you up like this.
Well yes. In addition to the body parts we all have, women have some that are exclusive to them; and as they're a bit special they require extra rights.
Well, no. Both sexes have body parts which are exclusive to them. And before you say “yeah but there’s nothing controversial or invasive happening to any male body parts” consider circumcision.
No contradiction there (I'd very much like to ban infant circumcision)
