Women form half of the human beings inhabiting planet Earth. Since human rights are the rights of all human beings, male and female alike, human rights are women's rights. By the same token, a society in which men are not willing to extend human rights to their mothers, the women who bore and nurtured them; their daughters, products of their own loins; and their wives, the women who bear and raise their treasured sons, is a society in which men are unwilling to extend human rights to men of another family, tribe, language, religion, race, ethnic tradition, or nation. If a society does not hold justice and equality for all women in the highest regard, neither will it hold justice and equality for the many varieties of men in high regard. In a very real sense, women's rights are the basis of all human rights. Women's rights belong to women as members of the human family, and, as such, are not dependent either on a woman's marital status or on the number or sex of the children she has borne.

From time to time, it behooves us to examine human rights

I think women and men should be equal. However, when it comes to things that are ok with society, the rules are different for men and women. For instance, most women can put up a legal defense of crime of passion while most men cannot. Women can cry rape and 99% of the time they will be believed without question until proven otherwise. Women are still denied some positions within the military.

Depending on what your definition of rights are, men and women already have equal rights by the way in America at least. Else where in the world many women are oppressed and do not have the same rights as men.

What rights are you referring to? The right to go topless in your front yard? The right to scratch your crotch in public? The "right" to carry a 150 pound victim out of a fire...when you are 5'2" and weigh 100 pounds? The right to live in the same tent with 3 other guys?

My point is...women are...SURPRISE!!...different than men. There are societal and physiological differences that are just a fact of life. Should we have the same "right" to compete in situations where women are "equally" competitive with men...absolutely. But where men just have a genetic advantage over us, if we can't compete with them on exactly the same playing field as the other "guys", we shouldn't be there.

The politically correct answer is to change the standard. Assuming the standard has a valid reason to exist in the first place, leave it be and back off.

To an extent. I just believe that as far as things like the military are concerned, women should only have the same rights if they can be held to the same standards as men.

Who thinks dogs should have the same rights as people? Now that's a pressing question we need to grapple with. Cats already know they are better than people so no issue there.

Power to the pooch!!

I wasn't aware that we didn't have the same rights as men.

The men in many Arab countries certainly don't. Cultural evolution seems to have just blown pass them. I don't know how else to explain it. Crazy isn't it?
