"Asked about the overturning of Roe v. Wade, they explained that men cannot get abortions, so it’s only fair that women shouldn’t be able to either, and therefore the court is the epitome of equality"
Choked on my drink
A fine take on this classic:
During the gay marriage debate in Canada people were actually arguing that marriage equality already exists, since everyone gay or straight cannot marry people of the same sex, and therefore gay marriage is a special privilege and not equality.
When someone is motivated enough, they can come up with all manner of reasoning in bad faith and not serving justice in any meaningful way, and when they come up with something like this they do nothing but marvel at their own perceived cleverness.
But not everyone had the right to marry a woman. Typical male privilege.
Oh you were serious. Well fuck.
