Women treated as inferior, undeserving of full respect
Speaking of men's rights and choices, where is a woman's right to walk down the street without the fear of being raped or attacked? Where is our right to be able to sleep in our own beds at college and not be sexually assaulted? Yes women like to be looked at and thought of as beautiful (and we are), but we also like to be respected. The problem that we have with Hooters and strip clubs is that they objectify women. We are seen as weak and as simply possessions to be used for men's enjoyment and then discarded when they are through. If you don't find this to be true look at the evidence. Who gets raped and murdered the most? The so-called "weak" women and children. This is part of human history, it is not a new phenomenon. We are more than just our "hooters." We are intelligent, beautiful beings full of emotion and life, and we deserve to be treated as such. It is not about the moral minority trying to take away men's rights. It is about women trying to live in a society where a great number of men do not know how to control themselves. Save us your men's rights speeches until you have granted us our right to live free of harm and degradation.
