The zeitgeist has changed, yes. Women are part of that.

Things change all of the time. Not always for the better. Particularly for women.

Things have changed very much for the better for women. You might have to accept that we don't all agree with you about trans identity.

Better for some women and none of it is set in stone forever. We will never have universal agreement on many topics but when ideas can have such sweeping repercussions I expect people to defend them robustly with reasoned arguments.

Yes, I was talking about the West where women have all the rights men do and a couple more in many places.

Legal rights do not always translate into equality as laws don't magically change people. What rights do women have that men don't and in which places?

No, men and women still face gender-related expectations but we have the right to ignore them and I do tend to do this. The right to genital integrity and the right not to be drafted to war are right women have and men don't in many places.

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.

Men also have the right to decide if they want to get someone pregnant. Paternity leave is something that needs to be improved but it isn't like men are falling over themselves to take that leave. It's more a tool to improve women's experience in the workplace.

Yes, men have that right too. You'd be surprised how many more men would like to work part-time or be main child-carer than women who want a man who does that.

Well I wouldn't because I know men in that position.
