I am currently trying to make a humorous video outlining the mistakes of current day feminism, but I need to know some of the rights that women have in the US that are exclusive to them. And possible sources too.

Up until 2010, rape laws only included female victims and male perpetrators. It was changed to include only victim penetration. [1] The problem with this today is that, legally, if I get drugged and wake up with a woman riding me, it's not rape. Due to this fact, most women and men like to claim that women are at greater risk of rape (which I think is in part due to social conditioning but that's another topic that can be discussed) because most statistics show that women are in fact, the vast majority of rape victims. What they don't realize, however, when you include the "made to penetrate" category, the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey found that occurrences were nearly identical, with 1.27M women reporting rape (p.18) and 1.26M men reporting "forced penetration" (p.19) [2]. TL:DR, women have the right to have their rapes called "rape". Men do not.
Women have the right to genital integrity [3]. Men do not have similar laws protecting this human right.
Women are given the right to federal student aid, drivers licenses, and a variety of other privileges by the government. Men only get those things after we sign up to get blown up on a battlefield in case of a bad war, and if we don't sign up, we are at risk of a felony punishable by a fine up to 250,000 USD and/or 5 years inprisonment [4].
Women can give up their child to adoption up to a full year (in some states) and sign away all rights and responsibilities without any input, discretion, or ability for the father to care for the child himself [5].
In addition to the previous point, women can carry a child to term against the fathers wishes and then sue him for child support. He is unable to sign away all rights and responsibilities before or after the birth, unlike women. (No source on this one, but it's more about the lack of there being a source citing a law giving father's this right that's the issue.)
A woman can rape a man, then sue him for child support. See Hermesmann v. Seyer [6].
A woman can rape a child, then sue him for child support. See Nick Olivas [7].
Woman can commit paternity fraud, deny the legal father to get a DNA test of her child and sue him for child support. [8]
A single woman can adopt a child. In many countries, it is extremely difficult or even illegal (New Zealand) for a single man to do so. [9]
~~Women have the right to argue a crime as a hate crime or as discrimination against her for being a woman. There is no equivalent for men.~~ I was unable to find a source on this one, as in the USA, it doesn't specifically differentiate hate crime laws as against women or against men, it simply protects sexual orientation and gender identity.

As for court and other biases, which aren't necessarily legal rights but are something the government has a hand in:

Men receive 63% longer sentences on average than women do for identical crimes. [10]
Women are twice as likely to avoid incarceration if convicted. [10]
Men make up 97.96% of death row inmates [11] despite men and women committing identical crimes.
Women win a majority of custody battles. [12]
Despite men being over 40% of domestic violence cases, there are over 2000 domestic violence shelters for women across the country, but only 1 for men. [13] (The article says second, but the first DV shelter for men closed due to lack of funding to support the overwhelming demand for it, so AFAIK that shelter is the only one.)
Despite making up more than 60% of college graduates [14], there are 4x as many scholarships for a woman as there are for men [15].
Sexual crimes with female victims are taken very seriously (which is great!). Sexual crimes with male victims are often not taken seriously. (This one is more anecdotal, but it is proven that male sexual violence crimes are severely underreported [15], and I'd argue that this is more about the "Men always like sex", "He had an erection, he must have liked it", "men only want sex", etc. attitude that's constantly perpetuated.)

Also, I found this, if you want to get really petty, but I do think it is a funny legal example about how, in general, gender roles constrain everyone:

Men are required to remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. (36 U.S. Code § 301. National anthem)

Also, sorry there's not too many sources, I rushed this a bit because I need to go to work, but if you want later I can try to fill it up with as many sources as I can.

Edit: I added a bunch of sources and changed/added some information.

Boys have very little right to bodily integrity, especially over their genitalia.

See: r/Intactivism (I'm sure you can find specific laws outlawing female genital mutilation that do not apply to boys).

A man's parental rights are commonly tied to the mother through marriage.

Equal child custody is granted in only two US states (Arizona and Kentucky):

Reproductive rights are granted to men literally nowhere.

(Look up legal paternal surrender... this isn't just a comparison to abortions, either. Women can legally abandon an already birthed infant and not pay child support in most Western nations... see for example r/ChildSupport4Men/. Some of these laws are known as safe haven laws if you want to try and track down something specific).

In many US states, men are not legally recognized as sexual assault victims, especially when the perpetuator is female.

See: https://www.reddit.com/r/rbomi/wiki/main (Section 3.4, "Rape laws excluding male victims")

Women's shelters and resources get federal funding though VAWA, whereas men's don't. This is despite several academic studies indicating that services for men are severely lacking. VAWA was originally found to be unconstitutional and was later amended to fix that. Existing funding allocations that happened before those amendments are still in place today though.

There are a few others that people cite as well that are open to interpretation. For example men may be treated equally under the letter of the law, but commonly not in practice. Examples are education, a presumption to a fair trial, divorce cases, insurance / healthcare, and police brutality against men. Which is 10 times higher than the equivalent racial statistic for minorities vs white people.

Two "funny" ones:

Women can rape a boy, get pregnant, not get an abortion and sue him for child support: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermesmann_v._Seyer

This is not about a legal right, but you can literally take Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf, rewrite it to apply to feminism and get it accepted into feminist scientific peer-reviewed papers and get praised for it.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grievance_studies_affair

If you reaveal it afterwards, some will literally defend it with all they have. Defend Mein Kampf. Defend Hitler-Ideology. Whilst going out there, saying feminism is equality by definition, so femnists can't be sexists or they are not feminists and therefore every public figure who's not carrying the flag of feminism is a sexist and will get cancelled out of existence. On top of that, the death, suffering and killing of men is portrayed more and more as humor, whilst critics of that approach are getting attacked for lacking said humor. Who on gods green earth does not think that this is extremely problematic? We are moving into an extremely dangerous direction, considering the astonishing amount of men moving with them.

A father, mother and a friend stabbed (and probably tortured i guess) a 29 yo mentally disabled man in germany. He contacted a profile of a 22yo woman - who happened to be the couples 12 yo daughter pretending to be 22. What did he write, you ask?

He wrote:"How are you?".

Yes.

That's the message.

He's dead.

Men pretty much have no reproductive rights for a start

SuperPwnerGuy · 2020-09-22T13:33:03+00:00

TBH I can't think of any actual laws passed that gives a woman the specific right to do something that a man can't so you might have a short video, lol

But when it comes to social hypocrisies about gender roles and women being given preferential treatment simply because of their gender then buddy there's enough content in this sub alone to fill the library of Congress.

I think with women's rights it's less to do with legislation and more to do with legislation not being carried out in the real world.

DwergieYandi · 2020-09-22T16:15:29+00:00

The draft. Enough said.

Joe8988999999899 · 2020-09-23T22:11:56+00:00

mrkeifer86 · 2020-09-22T14:47:06+00:00
