Not to this conversation, no. It's relevant to me more widely because this is what I do. https://qmul.academia.edu/HelenPluckrose

Of course, we still need to campaign to make criminal sentences fairer on men and we need to check that the wage gap and education gap are caused by different choices and interests & think about unequal suicide & homelessness and continue to oppose gender-related violence.

Ignoring expectations based on being a man or woman only works if there is no impact. I can't just ignore losing a job if I get pregnant. Woman don't have a right not to be drafted. They are barred from joining many areas of the military. No idea what you mean by genital itegrity
-
You can have the right to decide whether to get pregnant tho. And which of you, if either, takes time off to care for the baby. I mean that, in my country, and many others, female genital mutilation is illegal but male genital mutilation is not.

FGM is far more damaging than circumcision. However if men want that banned, they need to organise and I will support them. Women are not standing in the way of that.
-
At the same level, its still illegal. And men aren't standing in the way of criminalising FGM where that is legal. Women are more in favour of it. But it's an example of a right society thinks only women need.
-
Men across the world have more power than women, if men truely wanted to change rules on circumcision, they would. Men don't need to stand in the way of FGM legislation, they just need to not care as women have fewer opportunities to change laws.
-
Many of them don't. Just as many women don't want abortion to be legal. This doesn't mean they aren't serious gendered issues tho. And men don't tend to have anything to do with FGM. It's seen as women's business.

Jammy gave ground from "women are horribly oppressed" to "okay fine, things are drastically improving but they aren't perfect yet and could theoretically get worse." I do believe you won that round, Helen.
