I'm not being sarcastic. I'm saying you are deliberately trying to not accept the fact that although equal rights were a good thing, there were side effects that came from that, that were damaging to the way men are perceived in society, and how THEY are now treated under the law. That doesn't mean go back in time and reverse laws giving women equal rights. And it doesn't mean don't ensure that women should continue to fight to get equal pay.

What it does mean is have some intellectual honesty and accept that just because good things came along with it, doesn't mean that damaging consequences didn't come from it as well. Much of this thread has been about those consequences, that are real, today. Them being bad does not mean that women having rights is somehow bad too.

But apparently, you can't even make that point without being against women having equal rights.
