First, please spell my name right.
Second, I'm trying to make a point about men's rights concerning pregnancy based on the current laws. Circumventing the argument by trying to change the entire framework of the argument isn't constructive or conducive to a civil argument.
If he wants to argue the right/wrong of abortion, that's fine. But that's not what I'm concerned with right now, and if he wants to refute my opinions, he should keep within the framework of the argument, not create his own new argument that has no basis in reality.
You're basically declaring the bounds to be what you say they are. He views a man disavowing responsibility of a child to be wrong. The fact that it currently is discriminatory is immaterial, as he isn't arguing for the current situation at all.
It's called planting a red herring. My stance on men's rights is based in current law. Saying, "But if the law was different, you would be wrong," is a huge freaking red herring, and has no business in the argument.
As far as believing that one sex should suffer to the exclusion of the other... that's a type of ****** up that we left behind in the 50's, and have been trying to completely abolish ever since.
