Cultivating environments to debate topics like this is important, as they may seem convoluted for some. However, dedicating an entire club to silencing a decision that should be made by the female sex, as someone who is not female, is extremely heartbreaking to see. This does not seem like an attempt to cultivate understanding or debate respectfully on the topic; this seems like an act of hatred and oppression. Take these protests to the streets, take these protests to even a debate club of sorts, but please don't promote them in our classrooms, don't make the young women of our school feel unsafe. This student has very concerning views for a person so young as himself- and I'm not just saying this because I don't agree with them. I have heard from many colleagues that he makes the people around him feel uncomfortable, and this is just another decision that makes them feel this way. This is a right, not a matter of opinion. Something's gotta change.
Had personal encounters with said student in the past, has a history of making inappropriate remarks to people, including me. An attempt to promote said club happened in one of my classes, ridiculous, and the fact that he thinks it's okay is even worse. Student causes emotional distress as well. Hoping this situation can be handled accordingly.
I believe that both sides of all arguments should be brought into though yes, but making a club that is strictly for anti-abortion and against women's right is something that should not happen. How would the student feel if there were a club dedicated to talking about revoking male rights? Even if it is a school club, it should not exist. If anything there should be clubs that support women's rights, yet we do not see that do we? We are all human; having different anatomy should not mean that you have different rights. All humans are born equal, and we should keep it that way, no matter how old. The student who is trying to make a club about this does not understand how it feels to be treated as if their rights are something easily revoked. Maybe if he were in our spot, he would understand how hard it is to be a woman with rights that are being taken away. All women deserve to have their own thoughts and choices over their own bodies; nobody else deserves to talk about their bodies or make choices about it.
Absolutely disheartening to see this behavior from a fellow student at a school where diversity and inclusion are supposed to be prioritized. I'll be graduating from here, but I fear for the fellow young women who attend this school and feel attacked by this student, as I do. This student has also previously invaded our school's GSA in an attempt to be nothing but hateful, despite his supposedly "non-hateful" attitude. An underage male has no business making decisions for women, nor should he have any say in our rights. He also has no right to parade his hateful and controlling ideology to the remainder of our school. Thank you so much to everyone who has signed so far and who wishes to maintain our school as a safe space!
I feel like the government is trying to take women's rights away, and make it impossible for women to figure out what exactly is needed to keep our "birthright," as a US citizen to vote, just because we took on our husband (ex-husband's) last name. This tactic is not going to make or break the votes for the next election, by making women "invisible!" This is America! Not some country that women don't have rights! Sadly, I feel like this is only the beginning....
We fought as women to have the right to vote in the civil rights era. There is no way in hell we are going back. We will keep fighting. We deserve to vote, married or not. Men do not control us. Men do not get to silence our votes. This is not making America great again. Vote NO. We deserve better ladies!
My spouse should not be restricted in her ability to vote just because she chose to adopt my last name. The intentionally vague wording of this act hints at its intent as a tool for voter suppression, and should therefore be scrapped in its entirety.
This act disproportionately does a disservice to women when voting. It's like a voting tax that keeps us from easily voting and using our voice. Stop trying to silence us because you want to control us.
