Same sex couple rights and and women's rights are, while not world-leading, ahead of many countries.
- Synaesthesia 11y agoBut by social standards America is not liberal at all. Labor laws are very pro-business, very few labourers are unionized, and education costs are very high and health costs are way higher than other 1st world countries, despite spending as much or more on it. There is no real labour party or left leaning party.

- rustynails 11y agoSpeaking of political correctness, who do people tolerate women's rights? It's just another excuse for sexism. I support the rights of all people (which encapsulates men and women). If you want a level playing field, you have to think beyond gender, skin colour, sexual orientation, etc. when we stop terms like women's rights, I know we've progressed beyond political correctness. I can't wait for that day.
- zamalek 11y agoAt the moment women tend to be more discriminated against. Focus on the problems you know; however, in line with what you said you can't fix inequality by trading one group's rights with another (aka affirmative action) else you're just going to tip the scales the other way - eventually spiraling into an all-out revenge fest (which is happening in some countries that are dealing with racial inequality). This is where we are headed if we don't tread carefully.
