Fighting fire with fire is a very effective and important strategy in certain situations, like backburning to slow down or stop wildfires, which can be directly compared to the current conflagration of trump and other right-wing authoritarian extremists destroying American civil rights.

in this situation, women have had their rights taken away and do not have access to healthcare and bodily autonomy in the US.

If american women have had their rights taken away and do not have access to healthcare and bodily autonomy, American men should likewise not have either.
