EDIT : Feminist do not care about human rights, they care about womens privilege. They have to say they care about human rights to give their moment validity.

There are, of course, biological differences that are based on sex, and those differences should definitely be considered when dealing with human biology and medicine.

The problem here, as I see it, is that you are conflating the biological facts of sex differences and the socially-constructed differences of gender. Gender is not biologically determined – sex is, and gender and sex are clearly two different things. Although many of our gender differences highlight or are based on biological differences, they are not actually sex differences – they are social responses to sex differences. Feminism is concerned with overcoming socially-constructed gender roles that keep women from full equality with men in our society, not in ignoring the very real biological differences between sexes.

In fact, feminists have been actively promoting awareness of sex differences in medical research for a very long time – since the days when the only concern cardiac care researchers had for women was to teach them how to manage their husbands’ heart health. For example, feminists were instrumental in calling attention to, and ending, the pharmaceutical industry’s blanket exclusion of pre-menopausal women from studies because it was "too tricky" for researchers to work with the monthly hormonal cycle in women, meaning that there was no research on the effect hormones would have on these drugs, despite the fact that pre-menopausal women took these drugs once they were released.

To address your next comment, the struggle for women’s rights IS a human rights struggle. On a purely semantic level, women are human so a struggle for women’s rights is, therefore, a struggle for human rights. Further than that, I am always frustrated when I hear people say that feminism promotes "purely female rights," as you put it. I know there are many forms of feminism, but I think most of us subscribe to the belief that males and females should be equal in society, under the law, in opportunity, and in the resources expended upon them – equal as humans. It is only the fact that women have been so often excluded and there is much ground to make up for before we can consider ourselves on equal footing that forces the struggle to focus on women’s issues.

My personal belief is that, if we polarize the most basic difference between individuals, if we draw "us vs. them" distinctions (and invest those distinctions with extraneous moral or intellectual significance) between males and females in our most intimate relationships, we train ourselves to make the same kind of "us vs. them" distinctions in ALL of our relationships, and in our policies. If you believe that those who are not exactly like you are less than you are, then you have a much easier time dehumanizing and then oppressing those who you view as different from yourself. I believe that a feminist society is less likely, therefore, to oppress people on other, non-gendered grounds than a society that invests biological differences with moral significance.

And finally, oh yeah – I was totally astonished…I frankly thought the Tide would walk all over Utah (although I’m not a fan of theirs – geaux Tigers) and considered not even watching the game. It was pretty amazing…and a great game to watch.
