Women's rights are human rights. We all win when that happens (except for those that exploit and abuse them).

- krapp 13d ago>Women's rights are entitlements and freedoms given to and exploited by women. They are decidedly not entitlements or freedoms given to or exploitable by men, and therefore humans in general. >They usually come at a substantial cost to men. The vote is one example. But the right to vote is decidedly an entitlement or freedom given to and exploitable by men, and therefore humans in general. As are other "women's rights" such as the right to own property, the right to equality in the workplace, the right to bodily autonomy (currently deprecated,) and the right to a divorce. Depending on the culture, the right to drive a car. The right to wear pants without being hauled off to an asylum for sexual deviance. I'm not actually aware of any such rights exclusive to women. Even men can get maternity leave in most countries. And for the life of me I can't imagine the "considerable cost" that women being able to vote has had on men, much less why that should be considered a problem.
