Good For the Gander

The Bernhard Perspective

Here’s a truth the Right-wing MAGA misogynists haven’t explained: Why do women’s rights vary from state to state while men keep the same rights all across the nation? Do not all Americans have the right to equal protection under the law?

Damn right they do. See the Equal Protection Clause, Amendment XIV Section 1 of the United States Constitution.

The problem is that misogyny as policy, as it exists today in many states, assumes and treats women as “less than” men, which by definition means unequal.

Of course it’s not just about women, but the bottom line here is that when it comes to women, Republicans, T****’s MAGA’s, and ultra-Christians distain to allow for equal protection for women, and codify violations of the 14th Amendment, Section 1.

These actions are a betrayal of the American concept of the rule of law: no-one is above it or below it or unequal before it. But clearly T**** and his MAGA’s just don’t care. Non-believers in American greatness and American virtue, they apply their hatred and lawless bigotry at whim.

But in America the Constitution is the highest law in the land. And it’s words mean what they say. And since there are no laws that control men’s bodies or restrict men’s access to medical advice, medications or treatment because they are men, there must be none that control or restrict women’s.

Period.
