Equal rights. Equal responsibility. You don’t get one without the other.

This bill is about equity which the US doesn’t have.

Great to see Gary Lineker in attendance!

[francesmacdonald]

I don’t understand why your asking for them back live your life free close ears and eyes to them

[leonardodakimchi]

Lmao
99.9% of women didn't read it.
You sure you want to be in the trenches of WW3?

[eddiebellamy]

We need to include women in the sequel!

[victornoyan]

Only GOD give equality, The devil suffering Black man, Wake up

[tomtwo]

Yes, let’s have equal rights. For men. 60% of College Graduates are women. Where is the push and aid to put more men in college?

[Semper_Iratus]

Let’s make it 200 years. No one is entitled to special rights. No one.

Not 'all genders', BOTH genders, as there are only 2.
