In Western Countries, Men's rights are more of an issue than Women's rights.

Refutations"Women are not equally represented in Government" My opponent has not explained why a disconnect between the percentage of women in the population and the percentage of women in government positions matters. As long as you vote for them, their Gender, Race, etc. shouldn't matter. My opponent has not proven that the cause of this is discrimination. My opponent has not proven that the changes this "issue" would need to stop existing are viable. For example, I listed five papers in my second round showing a strong correlation between increased female representation on corporate boards and decline in corporate performance. "Women in the US before Obamacare were denied basic health services in their insurance such as birth control because it violated other peoples beliefs" My opponent is not talking about something that is currently an issue. My opponent does not recognize that the Hobby Lobby case did not deny women all forms of contraception/birth control. My opponent does not recognize that women could still get all forms of contraception themselves even then. "Women are slightly more likely to be abused in a relationship http://www.saveservices.org...; My opponent does not recognize that his own source is an article proving that more men than women are victims of partner abuse. In fact, his source contains a lot of information backing up my point. It shows, with sources, that men are less likely to seek out help, & that two thirds of men who have tried to get help as victims of Domestic Violence have found these methods not at all helpful. (Really, thank you!) My opponent does not clarify what "slightly more" is, and gives us no context around the issue. My opponent's statement does not appear to be supported by the source he gave at all. "Laws that fail to account for the special needs of women in pregnancy (this was the worst one I found)http://www.nytimes.com...;This does not appear to be happening on a large scale, in fact there are already laws against it."Catcalling women is social acceptable ; My opponent does not recognize that a man has done a similar experiment in the same area and got the same level of catcalling (). My opponent does not recognize that a woman has made a similar video walking 10 hours in Mumbai, dressing even more promiscuously and getting zero catcalls (http://ibnlive.in.com...). This proves that the catcalling was dependent on the location, not the Gender. As academic Christina Hoff Sommers points out (), most of the catcalls the woman in New York received were in one particular part of the city, and were by ethnic minority homeless people (persumably due to their low social status). "Women are offered less for the same type of job" My opponent does not recognize that the same type of job is not the same job. My opponent does not recognize that one of the articles he references in this point uses the same study I debunked in my second round. My opponent forgets that, as I've shown with sources before, men are more concerned with their pay than job satisfaction, unlike women. Like the more general wage Gap myth, there are several studies showing there is no gender bias in sciences, including ones I didn't link to in the second round. For example: Women in Science: No Discrimination, says Cornell Study http://www.science20.com... My opponent doesn't recognize that his source thinkprogress.org never clarifies how it controls by occupation, leading to ambiguity and a lot of reasonable doubt considering the paper reviewing over 50 peer-reviewed papers and concluding there is no pay gap, and the studies and analysis I've linked to before showing there is no gender bias in STEM. "Women are significantly less likely to be extremely wealthy" My opponent does not give any explanation as to why this is caused by discrimination. My opponent does not mention the fact that men make up around three quarters of the homeless (http://usich.gov...). "Despite Quotas in Britain women are still not equally represented in government" My opponent has not explained why a disconnect between the percentage of women in the population and the percentage of women in government positions matters. As long as you vote for them, their Gender, Race, etc. shouldn't matter. My opponent has not proven that the cause of this is discrimination. My opponent has not proven that the changes this "issue" would need to stop existing are viable. For example, I listed five papers in my second round showing a strong correlation between increased female representation on corporate boards and decline in corporate performance. Thank you.
