While men's rights are guaranteed by specific language in the Constitution, women's equal rights aren't mentioned.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Men and women have roles - their roles are different, but their rights are equal.
The Constitution did not mention women when it was first written, and it still doesn't.
Women deserve the same permanent rights and explicit protections given men in the Constitution.
We cannot ensure that women will be free of discrimination in the workplace and everywhere as long as women are not universally defended under our Constitution. As it stands now, the equal rights of women are subject to interpretation of law. That is a risk our mothers, sisters and daughters cannot afford.
The only way to ensure equality for women is to clearly declare it in our Constitution.
Women's rights is not only an abstraction, a cause; it is also a personal affair. It is not only about us; it is also about me and you. Just the two of us.
I believe strongly in the rights of women... my mother is a woman, my sister is a woman, my daughter is a woman, my wife is a woman.
The rights of one sex, political and otherwise, are the same as those of the other sex, and this equality of rights ought to be fully recognized.
I'm not obsessed with the rights of women; it can be a bit excessive. I want to put men and women on an equal footing. I think we are equal but different.
Human rights are women's rights, and women's rights are human rights.
