If you want to actually discuss whether or not women have anything left to fight for in terms of equal rights (I am assuming you even want to discuss this. If not, then we might as well just take our balls and go home) then we have to actually discuss the specifics.
"Women have equal rights already!"
"No they don't!"
...is not a debate. If you would really like to talk about this then we, as a group, have to:
1. Establish an agreed consensus of which rights we are even talking about
2. Present data from both sides
3. Examine the data to see what the evidence demonstrates
If you aren't interested in that level of detail, then I can only assume you aren't interested in a sincere discussion. Maybe you are just trying to rile people up, or maybe you are hoping someone will come along and agree with you, like scooby, so you can feel validated. I literally have no idea what your intentions are here.
As you'll notice, if you look back in the thread , I've provided numerous sources for my claims. Your side, the majority side has yet to provide a single piece of evidence.
Feminism is a "fight" for equal rights for women.
Meaning, they claim women are denied equal rights, meaning they are making a claim, meaning they have the burden of proof.
As far as I'm concerned, I'm aware of the existence of laws that disallow people to be discriminated based on their gender.
