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.
