Ann Quinlan was 21 y/o When she mixed Valium and alcohol by mistake. She was in a coma for about 6 years with no hope of ever getting well. Her parents fought for her to be allowed to be taken off of the machines and allowed to die. The courts ruled in her favor and she was slowly removed from the machines. But after having the machines removed she did not die and lived for about 10 more years. Her case started the “right to die” motion.
Some (not all) men are against shifting gender roles because, historically and presently the nature of gender roles typically put males at a societal advantage. So the concept of having shifts in these gender roles, means that many males are often nervous that they will lose the stability in the systematic designation of societal standing due to gender, that was always designed to favour them. Although these fears are irrational, as most of the modern movements in relation to gender roles are in favour of freedom of the individual, and not intended to put any group or person at a disadvantage.
