re: Off-shoot...what rights do men have that women don't in this country?

So many women want "pick and choose" or "5:00 p.m." equality. They want the equal wages but come 5:00 p.m. they want the man (who they are making the same wage as) buying them drinks at the bar. They want that same man to pay for any dates instead of going 50/50. They still want the man to be the one who risks public humiliation and even a harassment charge to approach a woman.

I always say that women want equality…until they don’t.

My question, as an off-shoot to this, is are women truly ready to accept full equality? So that means taking the responsibilities with the benefits.

You never hear one word from women about men still being the only ones who can be drafted.

Most men are more than willing to let women truly become equal and have equal rights. But with equal rights comes equal responsibilities.

So I ask, including to women on this board, are women ready to give up their privileges to be truly equal?

I've also never heard one woman demand to pay in car insurance what men have to pay.

I believe that medical care for women is more expensive than for men due to pregnancy, plumbing and other reasons. Yet women are not charged more.

The same number of rights white folk have that black folk don't have......

The Constitution generally doesn't require private organizations to treat men and women identically. One of the clearest examples is religious institutions, which have broad constitutional protections to choose their own clergy and religious leaders. For example, a woman does not have a legal right to be ordained as a Catholic priest.

Private clubs can also, in some circumstances, limit membership by sex. For example, Butler National Golf Club has historically maintained a male-only membership policy. Augusta restricted membership of women until very recently, but there are many who feel that decision was in error. The principal does cut both ways: there are also private organizations and clubs that are exclusively for women, and men have no legal right to join them simply because they are men.

The discussion becomes more nuanced when you separate legal rights from the ability to exercise those rights. On paper, two groups may have the same legal rights, but differences in wealth, influence, social norms, or fear of retaliation can make those rights much easier for one group to exercise than the other.

A historical example is voting. While the Nineteenth Amendment prohibited denying women the vote on the basis of sex in 1920, many Black women in the South continued to face intimidation, violence, and discriminatory practices that effectively prevented them from voting for decades.

Again, this goes both ways. Many people express opinions anonymously online that they would never voice publicly because they fear social or professional consequences. Whether those consequences are justified is a separate question. That said, many argue that women, on average, face greater social constraints in some contexts because of historical and ongoing differences in power, wealth, and representation.

The fact that so many people think women are biologically incapable of equality proves my point.

Those aren’t men.

LOL.

You can be as manly a man as ever was a man and it doesn't change the fact that if a woman hits you, she has committed assault that you would have been prosecuted for.

l can only think of one: Women can't pee in the men's bathroom urinal.
