rights of men

Re: rights of men

Dush! Almost of the above are not rights but are expectations of the others.

We can dissect a few above and will find that they can be contrary to each other.

[quote]
right to responsibility towards other people to not hurt their feelings
right of being honest
right to truthfulness
right to being honest to their own selves

Is it a right? Being truthful (aka blunt) and hurting go hand in hand most of the times.

[quote]
right to open mindedness
right to personal space
right to commitment
right to choice
[/quote]
Is this a right? One is open-minded or narrow-minded. It is a state of mind. And what is open-minded? Open-mindedness of one may start to encroach on the commitment, choice, personal space of the other.

I disagree to this list. In a relationship, if you have reached a point where you are talking about rights then there is already something wrong and definition of rights will not prevent the relationship to deteriorate further. If you go through the list, you should see that there are many where easily both sides in a relationship may consider as right. In case of disagreement whose right is more important? For a relationship to survive, one has to give up his/her rights from time to time to accommodate the other.
