Men's rights to what, exactly? There are plenty of rights that affect men that vary state to state. Off the top of my head I can think of firearm rights that vary dramatically state to state. Or are we talking about rights exclusive to men because of different biology between men and women? I feel like other than a vasectomy, I'm not sure what other male-biology-related rights I have. Honestly there's less technology related to reproduction on the male side.
I get the point of the message, that there are rights women should be universally guaranteed that aren't, and I totally agree with that message. But the phrasing seems ambiguous at best.
I am sure that they are speaking of reproductive rights that apply exclusively to men.
The biggest one that I can think of that varies by region are paternal rights. Things like which parent gets custody, child support. I guess you could say that paternal rights in that case simply vary inversely to maternal rights.
I think I recall from the past that in some states, a sperm donor, like for a sperm bank, may be subject to more liability for their children than in other states.
Medically, there's not only vasectomy, but also drugs that cause erections like Viagra, as well as other impotence treatments. I have no idea if any of those vary by state. Prostate treatment would also count. Any treatment that might increase or decrease viable sperm count.
I wouldn't be surprised if there were differences between states about how penile implants or even piercings are treated.
Oh yeah, firearm rights are definitely exclusive to men.
You're the only one making it about exclusive rights and not just generally rights.
Really stupid and asinine for people like you to demand everyone just shut up and agree with you, because agreeing with you but then talking about other related things isn't nice enough or whatever
The OP is literally comparing the difference between men and women's rights.
I guess pretending that they aren't is popular.
Do men have rights that vary state to state? Yes. Do women also have rights that vary state to state? Yes.
So the OP is false.
Nowhere in op says exclusive rights, nowhere in op cuts out specific rights. That's why people are disagreeing with you. You're defending a false statement by adding words in your head that aren't there on the page.
Yup.
A lot of "it means what I mean it to mean" going around in the replies to those pointing out the poor phrasing's logic fail.
