This seems to cut across a lot of issues - abortion, same-sex marriage, discrimination in hiring, etc.
For example, racially segregated facilities are (and should be) illegal, but "men only" and "women only" restrooms, locker rooms, barracks, etc. are perfectly legal. Should they be?
I can sue a urologist for refusing to treat me because of my race, but I doubt I could sue an OB/GYN for refusing to treat me because of my gender. Does that bother people?
How would you suggest the law "equalize" the sexes where abortion is concerned? Should it?
Should women be allowed to go topless if men are? But then if that's the rule, could a woman or man sue for a "hostile work environment" if a company sponsors a beach party with topless men and women, as opposed to just "topless" men?
Is banning same-sex marriage similar to banning interracial marriage? Why or why not?
What do you say? Don't try to guess my views; I'm interested in yours!
