My thread is a bit more serious than most but I'll try to throw in some humor. 
Would you support a men's right group fighting for support for more male specific issues such as divorce laws or male birth control?
I would support men to have more rights to their children in divorce cases. I don't know what you meant by male birth control.

Well its something I've always supported. Right now the only options are surgery or condoms. I was sort of just using it as an example of a men's rights group that supports reasonable things.
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.

I wish there were more options for men when it came to birth control also. Didn't they invent a birth control pill for men?
I looked it up. Apparently, some companies are working on options for men to have more control over their reproductive choices also

Quote:The result was a drug called Gamendazole. Although Gamendazole allows for normal ejaculation, the sperm are nonfunctional. Research suggests that Gamendazole causes 100-percent infertility in male rats – an effect that’s reversible after eight to 10 weeks after stopping the drug. It’s also been shown to work in rabbits and non-human primates.
Tash and his team of scientists have met with the Food and Drug Administration to discuss Gamendazole’s efficacy and safety. They hope to soon start pre-clinical safety and efficacy trials that will eventually bring them to their first human clinical trial. However, Tash says, between human clinical trials, examining the data and designing additional testing, it will be a while before Gamendazole hits the market. “I don’t know whether it [will] be five years or 10 years,” Tash says. “Certainly not within the next few years.”

Exactly what I was thinking! I love you your highness!

Some fundamentalist Muslim women claim that wearing body bags in public is true feminism because it preserves their image from the over-sexualization and exploitation that women in the West have been subject to. As a feminist, do you agree with their criticism and choice to cover themselves head to toe? Why or why not?
