2 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoCould someone explain right wing policies to me?
Honestly, I do not understand the rationale behind many positions held by the political right in this country. I'd sincerely like someone to clarify/support/etc., these points in particular, or any other you might wish to include:
1.) Marriage equality. Why promote the state treating genders differently?
2.) Deregulation of the market. Doesn't this just result in trusts/monopolies? Not to mention large industries using large amounts of funds on lobbying for their own interests, which could be used to aid the impoverished.
3.) Abortion. I see it as your uterus, your decision. I don't think the government should be banning it.

9 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoDo you consider different marriage rights between men and women sexism?
The way I see it, if a man cannot marry a man, and a woman cannot marry a woman, solely due to what they have in their pants, then state-sponsored sexism is at work. If the different genders have different rights, then the state is discriminating based on gender.
What's your take on this?
