It does imply importance due to relationships to someone else but that works for men too.

It's an emotional argument ("You like your mother/sister/daughter -> care about women") but again, nothing about it...

.. suggests that women are lesser. The only way to get there w/o adding extra baggage is by assuming motherhood is subservience.

I'm with
@HPluckrose on this one. Statement is harmless and true in itself but *not* the reason we should have equal rights.1 reply 1 retweet 5 likes -
We should have equal right because women are human beings. That's it. Marriage and motherhood irrelevant.

It depends who's making it. I spend a lot of time talking to religious conservatives who'd limit women to the home.

There are plenty of those. I don't hear them say that in defence of equal rights though.

No. That's my point. Feminists too keen to impose that narrative on ppl making completely different points.

Why I'm saying 'context matters.' This literally had 'gender equality' in the tweet, ffs! Hardly ambiguous!
