  Women bear children, so are materially disadvantaged when it comes to sex. They can be raped and get pregnant as a result. This can’t happen to men. There’s also sexual dimorphism meaning women are weaker on average. This means special laws are needed to protect women specifically.

    Don’t men have worse health problems including higher infant mortality rate? Do you think we should be legislating to even the playing ground in that aspect?

      In an ideal world, yes.

        How?

        Just because some people are at an apparent genetic disadvantage, does not follow that we should attempt to legally remove inequities.

        This would both be unfair to those considered advantaged in some way, and impossible to implement.
