There also issues in general about health, because women bodies are different to men bodies. I have very weak health and I have heart attacks every 1-2 years. And I once almost died because I had an attack in different city. Doctor who was checking me, was mostly treating men, so he tried to treat me and nothing was working. Good that I was with friend there, and he insisted on another doctor from another hospital. Second doctor actually saved my life there. And it is all because heart and veins are positioned a bit differently, heart attack effects on body are different in men and women bodies, and a lot of other small differences. This makes medicine and practices that work on men - to not work on women. And I am pretty sure that heart diseases is not the only time when it is different between two sexes.

Animals were granted protection 20 years before women in the UK

That's rough. I read somewhere that some middle east countries has more rights given to thoroughbred dogs and horses than to women, or had. I don't remember where it was. However, I don't know if it is true (most likely it is).

I liked how the counter arguments to this was very weak and mostly from white douche Bros.
