| 0 | There is a difference between trying to ensure women ARE safe. . .& trying to ensure all women FEEL safe.I'm afraid "sapience" doesn't have a consistent definition. Sometimes it's basically defined as human-like intelligence or greater. Sometimes it's defined as having technology, or reasoning or something. I think most people see humans as the only sapient animals. But I think some definitions could include many non-human animals. Dolphins are sometimes said to be smarter than humans, beaver dams could be considered technology, and wasps can reason. | /r/MensRights | 07/08/25 05:19 AM |
| 1 | There is a difference between trying to ensure women ARE safe. . .& trying to ensure all women FEEL safe.I'm actually 22, please don't speculate about people's ages like that, it's ageist. And if you argue against insect rights on the grounds that insects aren't intelligent enough to have moral consideration for humans, that argument can be used to argue against human rights too. Being intelligent enough to have moral consideration for other sentient beings is not a prerequisite for rights. Babies are born with no consideration for others. And insects have moral consideration for their own species.… | /r/MensRights | 07/08/25 02:57 AM |
| 1 | There is a difference between trying to ensure women ARE safe. . .& trying to ensure all women FEEL safe.Bacteria aren't sentient, only animals are, and not all animals. Vertebrates, cephalopods, tusk shells, arthropods and velvet worms are all probably sentient. Tardigrades and annelids may be sentient. Other animals are probably not. And sentient beings are absolutely worth protecting, even if they're not as intelligent as humans. And if you're going to bring up self-awareness, I think all sentient animals are probably self-aware. I'm not even sure sentience without self-awareness is even logical… | /r/MensRights | 07/08/25 02:15 AM |
| 1 | There is a difference between trying to ensure women ARE safe. . .& trying to ensure all women FEEL safe.If you acknowledge that the insects aren't really a danger, what makes it right to kill them? Arthropods are sentient beings. Even if you dispute this, surely it's not worth the risk. You should catch them and take them outside instead. | /r/MensRights | 06/08/25 02:28 AM |
