Other protests highlighted men’s rights, but this was countered by the argument that, for centuries, men had been asked to respect women’s rights, and respect consent, and no amount of asking had been effective. Therefore, this simple procedure was entirely necessary to ensure women’s rights were respected.

given the choice between reversing the damage for the future or making more money today, men opted for more money today. The feminist far right argued, vehemently, that this was absolute proof that men simply did not care about anything but themselves.
