Men's rights very much do differ by state but not anywhere near as significant

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Amendment 2 varies by state county city. But not by sex. Lots of rules are state wise, not federal

Oh. Usually it's phrased as second amendment.

[-] ignirtoq@feddit.online 0 points 4 months ago

Yep, I definitely think the whole phrasing of that comment is unusual. I understand the basic facts they are stating, but not the point of stating them.

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 0 points 4 months ago

I'm confused about what your point was in your original comment. I don't get the relevance?

[-] ignirtoq@feddit.online 0 points 4 months ago

My original comment? I just answered your question as to what that other commenter meant by "amendment 2." I didn't say anything else? Did you not want someone else to answer your question and only want that commenter to?

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 0 points 4 months ago

Oh sorry. Everyone on this site feels like the same person to me except for @SantasMagicalComfort@piefed.world

You are missing the point. There are no rights exclusive to men that vary by state. The only rights that vary by state for one gender are women's rights.

Things like parental rights don't apply here because those impact both genders (they are zero-sum; a decrease in men's paternal rights implies an increase in women's rights).

Only women have specific rights that ONLY impact women and vary from state to state

There are no rights exclusive to men or women. Abortion also affects trans men.

[-] scarabic@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

So you’re saying that in addition to the rights we all have, women have additional exclusive rights.

[-] neatchee@piefed.social 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

No, I'm saying that women are SUPPOSED to have the same rights as everyone (e.g. complete bodily autonomy) but have their rights restricted in varying ways from state to state.

This really isn't that hard to understand. Women have had their rights restricted in ways that men didn't for a long, long time. It's so normal that you aren't even aware of it.

They got the right to vote later than men.

They got federal protection for their right to have their own bank account without a man's approval in 1974 for fuck's sake.

Is it so hard to recognize that women's rights are controlled in ways that men's aren't?

[-] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 months ago

Female genital mutilation is illegal in the United States. Male genital mutilation is common practice. The discrepancies certainly aren't equal, but they aren't exclusively one-sided.

[-] scarabic@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Let’s not forget that women have never had compulsory military service in the US either. I hear some things can happen to your body in war. I mean aside from it being mandatorily shipped away for months and years.

Yes, anyone pushing for that last inch of total exclusivity here has another think coming.

[-] ThirdConsul@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Name a state - or a country - where men have "(e.g. complete bodily autonomy)". All the examples I can think you might think are false, so either I'm missing something or I'm gonna challenge you so badly I van taste the endorphins (or I'll learn something, so win win for me)

They got the right to vote later than men

Yes. For example in UK, women got universal voting rights whole decade later than men.

[-] kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 4 months ago

Which rights are exclusive to men?

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Show me in the OP screencap where it says exclusive

[-] kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 months ago

Women's rights vs. men's rights.

Do women have the right to receive life saving medical care(abortion) as they should?

[-] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

The right to drink a beer while operating a riding lawn mower in full view of the public without wearing a shirt.

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

But that's illegal for everyone. Even for women.

[-] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I think you have it slightly twisted. If you're mowing your own lawn on your own property as a dude and showing a bare chest, you will find that there are no laws on the books in your locale prohibiting this. If you dare to show boobs while doing so, however, you are certain to cop an indecent exposure charge (or at least the threat of the same) if anyone sees you.

There are some exceptions where being out and about topless as a woman isn't illegal, but these are indeed exceptions in specific states and municipalities, which is kind of the point of this entire thread. Nobody's going to say anything to a guy doing this, even if he's ugly.

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago

I think you missed the part about operating a riding mower while publicly consuming alcohol. That's the part that's illegal for everyone.

[-] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

On your own property? No it ain't. On the street, sure.
