    No, this is very different than that. This is about supporting one group without intentionally putting down another.

      Women have a long history of having less rights than men.

      When did they allow women to start voting? That is just one example

        First, sorry, but it’s fewer rights, not less rights, since it’s countable.

        Second, sure, that’s true. That’s not what this is about though. There’s no reference above to which group is more privileged. It’s only talking about the fact that, in some places, the rights of men (and all people) do differ. I’m sure you can recognize this is true, right? Some states protect (or, rather, don’t infringe on) some rights more than others, for all people, right? If you agree then the statement of the OP is definitively untrue, and the comment above is accurate.
