Sex Discrimination

AN ARGUMENT FOR SAME-SEX MARRIAGE

P1. Men and women should have the same rights

P2. Men have the right to marry women

C. Therefore women should have the right to marry women


ANALYSIS

The argument is unsound, as demonstrated by the following counter argument:

P1. Men and women should have the same rights

P2. Women have the right to enjoy women-only spaces

C. Therefore men should have the right to enjoy women-only spaces

Men and women should not have the same rights but should have equal rights. In traditional marriage, men and women both have equal rights. Both have the equal right to marry someone of the opposite sex.
