Why should sex between two consenting people have to run the risk of imprisonment or violence? This doesnt explain how its a right. Yes. That doesn't make it any better, does it? No, but it shows that its not oppression, unless you are going to claim that ALL men are oppressed? ( by who?) So we don't have the right to say that we're in love with a boy without risking (at a minimum) being totally socially ostracised, and (more probably) violence on the part of others or persecution on the part of the state? This isnt a right either I suspect you're coming at this from the Ayn Rand universe, I dont think so. Ive never read Rand. I believe we are social creatures at a profound level. That we only exist in the spaces between us. sure, but that still doesnt explain how its oppression. The relationships and social bonds come with rules, that may or may not be rational. We dont get to demand that those social bonds conform to what we want. If I live in a muslim country, am I being oppressed because I cant eat bacon? |
