What men value in this world is not rights but privileges.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Some values must be universal, like human rights and the equal worth of every human being.
Only very slowly and late have men come to realize that unless freedom is universal it is only extended privilege.
In the long run, Women's Liberation will of course free men-but in the short run it's going to COST men a lot of privilege, which no one gives up willingly or easily.
Men and women have roles - their roles are different, but their rights are equal.
Male privilege and entitlement are dying a very painful death; no one gives up power without a struggle.
The value of a man is in his intrinsic qualities: in that of which power cannot strip him and which adverse fortune cannot take away. That for which he is indebted to circumstances is mere trapping and tinsel.
Human rights are not a privilege granted by the few, they are a liberty entitled to all, and human rights, by definition, include the rights of all humans, those in the dawn of life, the dusk of life, or the shadows of life.
A privilege may not be a right, but, under the constitution of the country, I do not gather that any broad distinction is drawn between the rights and the privileges that were enjoyed and that were taken away.
Every man, when he comes to be sensible of his natural rights, and to feel his own importance, will consider himself as fully equal to any other person whatever.
Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less.
