Firstly, I am not against equal rights for women, so please, abandon that strawman.
What I am arguing against here is the notion that women who voluntarily remain in a religion that subjugates them require my undesired assistance in saving them from themselves.
In the matters of law and society I of course cast my votes with an eye to the candidate's stance on issues of equality of gender, race, ethnicity, and broader freedoms in general; but in personal matters such as religion, it is not my business to tell anyone else how to live, unless --
I raised my son to be cognizant of discrimination and bigotry, and made it plain that his acceptance of those sorts of standards would come at the price of my respect. Seems to have worked.
Had I instead had a daughter, I certainly would have taught her that she is no one's servant, and that accepting subservience would come at the price of my respect. I think that would have worked.
Finally -- rights are not granted ... they are seized.
