Do you believe/ think women have more rights?

Men and women have different rights. Progressives have been trying to amend the constitution such that men and women would have equal rights since the 1920’s but have been thwarted with every attempt. I really thought it had a chance in the 1970s when even Betty Ford supported it but it didn’t pass. Since the rise of the religious right in the 1980’s the climate hasn’t been as favorable for the ERA.

Nobody has the right to kill their spouse except in self-defense. Juries may be more likely to accept the self-defense argument from a defendant that is a woman than a man but this is not a right, it is an example of prejudice. Rape convictions without physical evidence are difficult to win so prosecutors generally won’t even try. It is also difficult to win a claim of sexual harassment against an employer without collaborating testimony or evidence.

Uhm none of that is true… What is true is that most of the domestic violence victims are female, 80% of domestic violence related homicides are women, the DA needs evidence of rape to convict, women dont earn the same as men in the same jobs, women with families make up the majority of the poor, and women are the majority of sexual harassment victims and often have no recourse. So, if any of the above was true, yes, absolutely the system would be one sided. But it isnt… so…
