Rights

In the west (and many other parts of the world) today men lack the following rights that women hold.

The right not to be a parent

Women in most nations have the right to choose not to be a parent. This right exists through the option to have an abortion and through the use of adoption, which is something many jurisdictions allow the mother to do against the wishes of the father.

The right to genital integrity

In most nations today women gain the right to genital integrity at birth. In an increasing number of nations this right is actively enforced for girls. Boys eventually gain this right too but the exact age at which this occurs isn't clear. We do know that boys in the United States still do not have this right by the age of five.

The right to protection from gender vilification

In an increasing number of nations it is illegal to vilify someone on the basis of their gender. This right is not normally enforced for men.
