Rights

In the west (and many other parts of the world) today men lack the following rights that women hold.

General The right to not to be a parent Women in most nations have the right to choose not to be a parent. This right exists through the option to have an abortion, through the use of adoption or through the use of safe haven drop off points. Many jurisdictions allow the mother to use any of these options against the wishes of the father. For men consent to sex is consent to parenthood. Women in most nations have the right to choose not to be a parent. This right exists through the option to have an abortion and through the use of adoption or through the use of safe haven drop off points, which is something many jurisdictions allow the mother to do against the wishes of the father. In contrast, for men consent, to sex is consent to parenthood. Spurgling is becoming more common in the West. The right to be a parent Despite having formally been abolished in many countries the tender years doctrine continues to hold sway in family court in many nations. As a result of this child custody is preferentially awarded to women over men. Fathers are often left as Weekend dads in which their ability to parent is severely limited, or worse they are victims of parential alienation and cannot be fathers at all. The right to genital integrity In most nations today women gain the right to genital integrity at birth. In an increasing number of nations this right is actively enforced for girls. Boys eventually gain this right too but the exact age at which this occurs isn't clear. We do know that boys in the United States still do not have this right at the age of five. The right to protection from gender vilification In an increasing number of nations it is illegal to vilify someone on the basis of their gender. This right is not normally enforced for men. The right to know they are the biological parent at birth Women have always known that they are the mother of the child they just gave birth to. Only recently have men had the chance to truly know that they are the parent of a particular newborn. In some countries, such as France, paternity testing is illegal unless permitted by a court of law. Mandatory paternity testing at birth would give to men a right that women have always enjoyed. The right to not be used for forced or compulsory labour (until 2014) International law permitted (until 2014) an occupying power to use men for labour against their will until 2014. The use of women for compulsory labour was always illegal in international law. The right not be drafted Few nations draft women. Even among those that do few will put women in to combat against their will. Men in many nations can be drafted and sent in to combat against their will. The right to renounce citizenship In general Singaporean men may only renounce citizenship once they have completed national service. Singaporean women are free to renounce citizenship. The right to presumption of innocence The right to a fair trial is being degraded in cases involving an allegation of sexual assault. Special rules of evidence are introduced which bias proceedings against the accused. In addition the #MeToo movement has seen countless men tried in the court of public opinion without so much as a cursory investigation in many cases. We can also see serious issues with police ignoring exculpatory evidence in sexual assault investigations in the UK and elsewhere. The right to be protected from common assault Women who commit minor acts of assault against men are rarely if ever punished, and they are often applauded. Women who commit serious assaults against men are sometimes punished as the results are often so egregious that even law enforcement can't ignore it. Men who commit minor acts of assault against women are punished as a matter of course. Journalists The right to enter men's locker rooms Since 1978 female journalists have been allowed to enter men's locker rooms in the United States for the purpose of interviewing players. The reverse has never been allowed.

Rights Culture "Ecuador river is granted the right to not be polluted in historic court case." --euronews Rights culture is a toxic culture of the law-obsessed capitalism-plagued western society, mostly connected to so called "human rights movement", in which common things such as repairing things and defecating without being watched start to become privileges ("rights") which common people have to "fight" for instead of doing useful things. It manifests in language by much more frequent use of the word "right" ("human rights", "worker rights", "men's rights", "animal rights", "I have a right to sleep", "I have a right to not listen to you", ...), reflecting the subconscious shift towards accepting that "what's not codified as a right is implicitly forbidden", creating a new bullshit field of various "fighters" for all kinds of rights like the right to wipe one's ass with his right hand, right to wipe his ass with the left hand, right to receive what one pays for, right to not be tortured for arriving late at slavery etc. The solution to such a shitty state of society is of course not in codifying more rights and "fighting" for them, but rather replacing the shitty underlying system which keeps turning common things into privileges; however it's also the solution people will never choose because people always do the exact opposite of what they should. As with countless other phenomena in modern western culture, this is a twisted take on something that initially might have started as good intentions, but was later on hijacked and raped to serve evil interests (see also similar cases: ecology, open source, communism etc.) Abuse of rights culture can now be seen clear as day especially with a very common pattern of the word "right" actually meaning "restriction", i.e. its exact opposite, being used as an euphemism -- for example so called "copyRIGHT" does not stand for giving anyone any extra rights at all! It stands for TAKING AWAY the naturally present "right" to freely use, study, modify and share information. Whereas without copy"right" anyone was free to share information, copyright established that this will now be forbidden. Similarly the "right to be forgotten" means that other people will now be FORBIDDEN from talking about someone else. Of course people haven't noticed this shift because they only react to keywords and the word "right" sounds like a "good" word.
