This seems relevant. Pardon typos, direct copypasta:
While we may have the right to do something, or it may be due to us in fairness, it may be physically impossible to actually use said right. In this case, though men should have the right to an abortion, we cannot physically have one. I do agree that men get the short end of the stick when it comes to choices and responsibilities with a pregnancy, while women carry most of the physical and emotional complications.
Life of Brian Wrote:Judith I do feel, Reg, that any anti-imperialist group like ours must
reflect such a divergence of interests within its power base.
Reg Agreed. Francis?
Francis Yeah. I think Judith's point of view is very valid, Reg, provided the
movement never forgets that it is the inaliable right of every man...
Stan Or woman.
Francis ...or woman. To rid himself...
Stan Or herself.
Francis ...or herself.
Reg Agreed.
Francis Thank you brother.
Stan Or sister.
Francis ...or sister. Where was I?
Reg I think you'd finished.
Francis Oh, right.
Reg Furthermore, it is the birthright of every man...
Stan Or woman.
Reg Why don't you shut up about women, Stan. You're putting us off.
Stan Women have a perfect right to play a part in our movement, Reg.
Francis Why are you always on about women, Stan?
Stan I want to be one.
Reg What?
Stan I want to be a woman... from now on I want you all to call me
Loretta.
Reg What???
Loretta It's my right as a man.
Judith Well why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?
Loretta I want to have babies.
Reg You want to have babies?
Loretta It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.
Reg But you can't have babies.
Loretta Don't you oppress me.
Reg I'm not oppressing you, Stan. You haven't got a womb. Where's the
fetus going to gestate? You going to keep it in a box?
--------[Loretta starts crying.]
Judith Here. I've got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can't actually have
babies, not having a womb, which is nobody's fault... not even the
Roman's, but that he can have the right to have babies.
--------[This seems to satisfy him.]
Francis Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to
have babies, brother. Sister, sorry.
Reg What's the point?
Francis What?
Reg What's the point of fighting for his right to have babies when he
can't have babies?
Francis It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.
Reg Symbolic of his struggle against reality.
