Yes. We can reason about things that don't align with our own identity. It'm all for more women being in government but i don't like this argument that men are unable to consider the issues involved because they are men.

“Consider” is not what they’re doing. They’re writing and passing legislation not “considering” a philosophical argument

If there was a men’s mental health meeting and every single person in the room was a woman… you’d throw a fucking fit too.

Regarding men’s mental health, would you be fine with only women coming up with policies and laws? No you wouldn’t be.

There's really no such thing as "men's mental health." Anyone who talks about that is a misogynist. But yes women can be therapists, psychologists, representatives, senators, and deal with mental health issues.

If they knew what they were talking about sure. What’s your line-up?

The people who write laws can consider the relevant issues. Like when life begins, when personhood begins, the mother's freedom and bodily autonomy, society's interest in preventing murder past a certain point. No one on the supreme court when they decided roe v wade was a woman. So it's not an identity contest. It just takes some drilling down to the philosophical issues at the root of the conflict. That being said absolutely more women should be involved.

sure, people can have immense empathy & understanding for someone else’s experience, but not without LISTENING to said people & involving them in discussions.

they aren’t affected by it the same way and yet when decisions about women’s bodies are made the room is all men. this isn’t some kind of hypothetical or abstract this is a real thing that’s happening where women are not being allowed to make choices about their bodies and their voices aren’t being heard when those decisions are made
