Claiming you are surrendering your privacy to protecting women an children is just a throw away bit of "political correct" rubbish.
With all the knowledge those in power already have, this world is a far more dangerous place for everyone, including men, than its probably ever been so how can you even come close to justifying such a ridiculous statement? The drug epidemic is greater than at any time in history and more women and children die in conflicts on every scale than ever before...

An old addage seems appropriate: "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely". Give these agencies to much power and, as history has proven ad infinitum, the power you give them will be used against you in the end.
Compare our existence with people in the past. We have significantly less freedom than they did and you are willing to piss the rest of it off? REALLY?
... and what kind of a world do you want the next generation to inherit? One in which they are encoded on every level... where opening your mouth in dissent gets you targeted as a matter of course? Think a bit more about the rights you are sacrificing for future generations before you relinquish them, for once they are gone, you ain't gonna get them back without paying a mighty price.
History has proven that as well.
