Well, as you’ve decided that basic human rights are now “optional,” let me propose a solution:

Since misogynists like you and Nathan are clearly a threat to women’s safety and comfort — and since women’s safety is essential for building the kind of secure, family-oriented society you claim to care about — why don’t we abolish your right to life instead? Start a misogynist elimination programme.

It would immediately reduce the threats women face, which are far more immediate and real than the hypothetical societal collapse you keep waving around.

Or does the idea of sacrificing your own rights to “fix” society not sit as comfortably with you as sacrificing those of women?

It is an incredible coincidence that every time I hear this, the unpleasant situation happens to be fixable by just tearing away a few more individual rights, which will surely be back once the unpleasant situation is gone and not replaced by five more unpleasant situations
