I do not understand your response...not sure the article was insinuating any of the above...
To me it strikes me as the entirely wrong approach. Women should in fact continue to push for their autonomy and freedom, and a functioning society should be keeping these men in check rather than yielding to them in any capacity.
Which works great until there are so many of these "excess" men that you can't keep them "in check". They are allowed to vote too, after all.
Moreover, voting to subjugate a group of people and restrict their human rights is horrific. Men are not owed girlfriends or wives, and certainly not via the ballot box. Geez.
The article feel like it is trying to lay out facts relating to tradition while withholding opinion.
Seems to me there is a recurring problem where people overlay women’s rights on to everything… the world is multi dimensional and doesn’t singularly revolve around gender… this kind of thinking shuts down debate and ostracises potential participants. The formerly oppressed are becoming the oppressor..
