Question: Why Do MEN Have ANY Say In A WOMAN'S Right To Choose ???

[ancianita]

116. Impossibilities, you say. Why are 'we' having this conversation, you ask. Is that your closer?

I'm calling the injustice that you say you don't deny, the probability of male dominance in legislating male morality, which you prefer to dismiss as impossibility. Or needing 'reform' -- as if all the efforts of women in law in what, the last fifty years, haven't been blocked by men who presume the privilege of knowing better what's best for women -- for thousands. It's the old biological determinism argument that clouds such legislating. Then there's the biological determinism clouding the enforcement.

My use of 'people' was meant as a frequently used euphemism that covers most men and some women.

What do I want you to say? I only wanted you to say what you meant by "rights" in the first post. If you don't care to address any larger context that buttress those rights, fine by me.

Then there's you asking me why "we" are having this conversation when you blithely assert that men have "rights." That's like asserting that birds fly. If you want no response to your declarations, fine by me. My attempts to place your meaning in a larger context are well intentioned, but right now you're just peevish.

We're having this conversation because I thought you might respect a woman's viewpoint. You present several questions that I'm to infer can't possibly have answers, that make male behaviors and "rights" sound more like some 'natural' phenomenon than laws can possibly govern.

You don't have to say anything. Thanks for sharing. Make your declarations and leave this conversation in peace. It's all good.
