Rulers and laws can respect rights, or infringe rights. Rulers and laws cannot grant or revoke rights. Rights exist regardless of rulers and laws, and regardless of whether they are respected or infringed. A woman has a right not to be raped, even during the act of rape. The infringement of the right does not negate the actuality of the right.
It's a cute "kumbaya" point, but meaningless without some entity to protect her from or punish the perpetrator of the rape.
This guy seems to think protecting yourself isn't an option.
NO, I'm saying protecting yourself is your ONLY natural right. Any other right is the product of our banding together into associations we usually call 'government'. I also don't say they're something given to us by some entity outside of ourselves, but rights we've given TO ourselves. Absent such "associations", your only "natural right", if I'm stronger than you, is to sit meekly by while I take what I want.
