Are these "human rights" in the room with us right now?

That's just being a normal, relaxed human being tbh. Nothing gendered about it.
pro: women's rights
anti: men's rights

It's all about frolicking through flowers, letting my luscious hair blow in the wind and- oh, I just got a memo.

Oh.

Conserative Morality wrote:"It's not time yet" is a tactic used by reactionaries in every era. "It's not time for democracy, it's not time for capitalism, it's not time for emancipation." Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.

If you answer "somewhat" please explain why (:

Don't know about masculinity, not being of that persuasion, but I do know about good Opening Posts. This isn't one. Check out the little primer below and start over. Meanwhile, I'll be trawling the thread.

Threads whose opening posts consist of nothing more than a single question/line of text, OR a link (or C&P'ed text), OR just directs to a poll question are considered spam. This being a discussion forum and to prevent directionless threads from developing more spam than my supermarket's shelves, we ask that OPs put a wee bit more work into their OPs.

Please tell us what YOU think, and why.

For example:

Which is better, squirrels or llamas?

No.

Which is better, squirrels or llamas? I like llamas.

Still no.

Which is better, squirrels or llamas? I like llamas because they are just so fuzzy and silly looking. While squirrels have been known to take on motorcycle riders and even the police, you cannot state that a squirrel is in any way better than the joy that is a llama.

Much better, this passes muster.

I'm very disappointed in all of you. Not one post I could warn for. Tsk.
