Our society doesn’t respect the bodily autonomy of our boys and men, and it doesn’t emphasize getting their consent. Yet we're demanding that they respect the bodily autonomy of others.

No it is not. This is a fucking moronic straw man argument to attack women's consent.

Just because something is hypocritical doesn’t mean it is wrong. Telling other nations to cut back CO2 emissions when we are the heaviest emitters is hypocritical but it’s still the right thing to say.

Hypocrisy is just hypocrisy. The real problem is when we let hypocrisy get in the way of doing the right thing.
