For example, I have heard it claimed that men shouldn’t have any say on abortion since it is entirely a women’s issue. The fact that men are often legislators that have the power to establish and change abortion law is often pointed out as a problem or a contradiction. This example is about who makes the law and I would rather this thread not turn into yet another debate about when life begins.

My point is to ask: do you ever think your own opinion about certain issues should not matter because of your identity? Is this limited to validity of opinions and discussion or should it go as far as legislation?
