Also you are straw manning his argument with sarcasm, by saying that he said women have allthe rights. He did not say anything about men having non rights just that women have more and I would agree, after all we have no male birth control.
I have to agree with Alex. To claim that women have more rights than men in our society is largely a crock. The only exception I can even think of is in child-custody cases in the event of a divorce. The male birth control issue is more of an R&D matter, not because powerful women are preventing it from happening. And the "well what about the Middle East" argument strikes me as a red herring. We have a way to go. That they have a much longer road ahead of them doesn't diminish our task.
It is somewhat of a R&D issue, but tell me if men have more rights then men, what rights are there that men have and women don't?
Okay rereading maybe the aggressive tone is a little too much, but I am genuinely interested in how men supposedly have more rights, but perhaps I'm baised because I never was a woman. I am also curious as how to feminism in its current incarnation is equipped to solve these issues, particularly how feminists are better equipped to solve these issues then egalitarians.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
