1. Anti-infant-circumcision. This is *routine* circumcision, mind. If there's an actual medical reason behind it, I support it. I also will not comment if people do this for religious reasons, provided that this is actually part of their religion.
2. Breastfeeding. And I'm never having kids, so this one's a bit weird.
3. Linguistic rights. Primarily, the right to not be told "the way you speak is wrong". I understand the various reasons behind a need for a standard dialect, but please. Just say "this way is more appropriate for this situation". Forget that right and wrong nonsense. (Unless somebody is actually wrong. It does happen)
4. Anti-Bush. BUSH SUCKS.
5. Pro-reproductive rights.
6. Pro-equality-of-all-sorts (racial, sexual, sexualorientational, whatever, equal is good)
7. Anti-death-penalty. Especially when it's being called upon by people who claim to be "pro-life". Liars.
8. Pro-helping-people-out. Yeah, if you're so pro-life, you should want to support this life once it's born as well. Abortion rates *rose* during Bush's term.
9. Anti-war. I don't like killing people.
10. Pro-Dudley-Fic. *coughs*
11. Autistic Advocacy. Technically, this goes under number 6, but I thought I'd give it a special mention. *special mention*
Hm.... That may be it. Icky number, 11, but it'll do.

Date: 2005-02-13 11:20 pm (UTC)Perhaps you [or a male friend] should walk into a gym and ask what classes they have for men only. You'll find the answer will probably [almost certainly] be none.
The reasoning for women's groups is valid and acceptable. I'm fine with them in concept. But, it is discriminatory to not hold men's groups, or at least say that they could be held were there enough interest. Some men don't go to gym's for the exact reasons women want women only gym classes.
