Men do have equal rights we may get the short end of the stick when it comes to child support but women get the short end of the stick when it comes to other...

Women's rights that men don't have, granted by law:

A commission on the status of women in every state, funded by taxpayer dollars (men only have one, in NH, and it is unfunded).

Tax benefits for being a "woman-owned business"

Government contracts guaranteed to women-owned (and minority owned) businesses.

Violence Against Women Act.

IMBRA

Full rights to their own born children. Men only get rights to their children when granted by the courts or by the legal precedent of marriage to the mother.

A department of Women's health. (yet women live 7 years longer than men on average.)

An Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women. (yet men are twice as likely to be the victims of a violent attack.)

I can continue with the hundreds of government departments for women with no corresponding department for men, but I think you get the point.

Women's rights that men don't have granted by legal precedent:

The right to abortion (yes, this is a legal precedent, not a law).

The right to abandon her child without her partner's consent.

The right to place her child up for adoption without the other parent's consent (and sometimes against that consent)

The right to lower jail sentences for the same crime, more likely to receive probation than incarceration and also shorter periods of incarceration.

The right "not to be offended" in the workplace.

The right to have a man evicted from his home because she's "afraid" of him.

The right to make false allegations of rape/DV/Child Abuse with relative impunity.

The right to keep custody of children after divorce unless PROVEN to be an unfit parent.

The right to have a man arrested on only her word, with no supporting evidence, upon an allegation of rape.

The right to women-only clubs/gyms/accommodations.

The right to use depression, PMS, or "being controlled by a man" as a legal defense and having way more of a chance of it working (not an absolute right, but Mary Winkler is getting it there)

The right to a standard of "self defense" that does not include an immediate threat.

This list continues, but I'll move on.

Responsibilities that men have which women do not by law:

Selective service (The Draft).

A requirement to list themselves on a putative father listing to have even the thinest rights to their children.

To support their Wives (these laws are still on the books. Husbands can be charged with abandonment, wives cannot.)

Responsibilities that men have which women do not by legal precedent:

To financially support their children (1: custodial mothers are not slapped with a "earn this much or go to jail" order. 2: NCP mothers are rarely ordered to support their children when in the custody of the father.)

The responsibility to accept being forced into parenthood against their will. (This is a combination of law and precedent)

The responsibility to get over their past as men cannot use prior abuse as a legal defense.

Oh for crying out loud. Stoning and execution is not a "woman's issue". For every 1 woman executed for adultery in Saudi Arabia, 500 men are executed for less serious crimes.

These oppressive countries are not just oppressive to women, but EVERYBODY. We so readily malign the cultures in third world societies such as Pakistan and Afghanistan for placing such severe restrictions on women and girls, and yes, this is a legitimate issue, but we ignore the other side of the coin: most notably how the men and boys are forced, yes, forced, to work to support their female relatives. Islamic law and custom is so strict on this set of entitlements and obligations that in Afghanistan, you can find 13 year old boys selling themselves as sex slaves to provide for their mothers and sisters.

For fucks sake, this is so widespread that in Afghanistan there's even a slang name for it: "bacha bazi", which translates as 'boy play'. It describes a wide variety of activities involving sexual relations between older men and younger adolescent men, or boys. Bacha Bazi is currently reported in various parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Force and coercion are common, and security officials state they are unable to end such practices because many of the men involved in bacha bazi-related activities are powerful and well-armed warlords.

Everybody everywhere seems to only ever care about the status of women and girls in these third world countries, but nobody seems to give a fuck about the wellbeing of the men and boys there.

Your mom was useful in the 60's but now she's just dead.
