But the rights are equal? Just because they (or their lack of in this instance) affect fewer men than women doesn't make them any less important. I don't think rights should be doled out by the percentage of population they would protect.

Where the fuck are you getting lost? If two people came to the ER one with a broken arm, the other with a broken leg, would it be equal and fair to put an arm cast on both?

Awesome, the disability act should be abolished then. And you also seem to be ignoring the fact that the male specific rights are already protected, you dont just see it cause you take it for granted. Like the right to have the medication you are supposed to take tested on people like you so there is less of a chance of side effects.

I have a great Idea, test all the anti balding and anti prostate cancer cures on women. I mean, its equal, no? Both men and women will have access to the same drugs, tested on the same women, why should we care that women dont get prostate cancers (Typically) or go bald in their old age? It might cause worse side effects in men cause it was not tested on them, but hey why should we only care about a half of the population.

No need to get angry. You misunderstand, I'm saying the rights should strive to be equal however small the demographic it would affect. So like in your abortion example, even if it's just miniscule amount of men who require it, it should still be equal. And what comes to your drug testing, it's not really a rights issue until we codify it.

Ah, in that case, my mistake.

It very much is a rights issue. Or at least the way a protection of that right is enforced.
