| SvennoJ said: Vagina envy much? The points you marked about the justice system. Who'se fault is that? Have a female police and justice system and see how those pretty women get treated ;) Any sources to back that up btw? Anyway I don't believe it has overshot equality at all. Maybe you should get in touch with your male privilege. http://amptoons.com/blog/the-male-privilege-checklist/ And believe me, giving birth is not a pro. All respect to my wife for surviving 2 difficult births with emergency c-section. It's a real advantage throwing up daily for 9 months, then get cut open and unable to do much for another 3 months while healing with a newborn to take care of. Lol at the 93, that's just offensive. Btw you can't wear perfume in Canadian government buildings. http://www.ccohs.ca/oshanswers/hsprograms/scent_free.html A lot of those points are pretty offensive. |
Most of these are privileges not rights that is true. There is no actual right that a man has that a woman doesn't (in the west) but women do have rights that men don't and that is the point. Here they are
-
Women have the right to genital integrity
-
Women have the right to vote without agreeing to die (or conscriptional immunity, e.g. Austria, Finland, Greece, Switzerland)
-
Women have the right to choose parenthood
-
Women have the right to be assumed (competent) caregivers for children
-
Women have the right to call unwanted, coerced sex rape
However, there are at least 7 more legal rights women have, that men don't (varying by Western country):
-
Women have the right to lower jail sentences for the same crime US, Australia, UK
-
Women have the right to not be assumed sexual predators British Airways, Qantas, Air New Zealand, Virgin Australia
-
Women have the right to government departments that solely serve their interests Office on Violence Against Women - US, Ministry for Women - New Zealand, Office for Women - Australia
-
Women have the right to government-enforced gender quotas Leadership positions in publicly traded companies - Norway, Legislated quotas in national parliaments - Belgium, France, Greece, Ireland, Spain, Portugal
-
Women have the right to exclusive tax benefits for being a business owner US, Australia
-
Women have the right to domestic violence shelters US, Canada, Europe
-
Women have the right to not be assumed the primary agressor in a domestic dispute US, UK
