You're on the wrong post, bud.
Politely but firmly disagree. “Should men have rights? Discuss.” was pretty clearly dark sarcasm, not a serious proposal to take anyone’s rights away. It was questioning the entitlement of the men who requested, performed, or normalized something that harmed women for supposed male benefit.
As Ruth Bader Ginsburg answered when asked when there would be enough women on the Supreme Court: “When there are nine.” People found that shocking, even though nine men had long been treated as perfectly normal.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ apologies
I think you should understand that tone doesn't come across well over text, and one should really read the room before posting on such a sensitive topic. By any interpretation, it wasn't the time or place.
It takes a hell of an ego put that "joke" on par with RBG's statement.
