- Had you tried to "transform" the first paragraph as well, you had
- gotten a pretty typical feminist speech ("change the laws to defend
- the poor weak women!"), and then his point would be obvious -
- he wants to change the legal system so it will not give
- such raw deals to men.
-
- Another point is that when the legal system is changed to protect women,
- there is almost no resistance (aside from the ACLU that cares about
- constitutional rights), but when the legal system is used to serve
- men a raw deal, and he says that every man is the in the danger then
- most responses are along the lines of "that is the way it should be."
