The informal right to brag and boast about an achievement you've made. You get this right after you've achieved it.

animal rights

A philosophy that suggests some or all animals have the right to possess their own lives. Contrary to popular opinion, animal rights activists do not ask for voting rights for chickens or pigs. Rather they ask that animals not be used for food, entertainment, medical research or clothing. Some activists maintain that there is a distinction between sentient, or self-aware animals, and those with a large degree of self-awareness are to be afforded the right to possess their own lives. Animal rights is also largely tied to dietary lifestyles such as vegetarianism and veganism which abhor the consumption of meat products in accordance with the principles of animal rights.

Animal rights movements are not the same as animal welfare which take into account, the suffering of animals (and seek to prohibit it) but do not grant them specific rights
The Great Ape Project is seen by many animal rights activists, to be a step towards granting other animals the fundamental rights such as the right to life, liberty and prohibition of torture

equal rights equal fights

"equal rights equal fights" extends the idea of equal rights for both men and women to fighting.

traditionally, an honorable man or boy would not fight or attack a woman or girl; however, "equal rights equal fights" argues that since males and females should civilly be treated equally, a man shouldn't necessarily be expected to hold back from a fight against a woman.

this idea is controversial, since the simple truth is that due to fundamental differences in body composition, the average man will almost always be able to win a fight against the average woman, and even a relatively strong and/or skillful woman may lose against a relatively weak and/or unskilled man. this fact makes the application of "equal rights" not always equivalent to "equal fights," since while the rights of men and women are (ideally) equal, their physical bodies are not.
male who loves pizza: "you stole my pizza. now we must battle to the death."
female pizza thief: "nope, can't hit a girl."
guy: "equal rights equal fights. chivalry is outdated. now, have at you!"
*they fight, unencumbered by societal expectations and traditions*

consumer rights

Your rights as a consumer.

As a consumer you (should) have a right to products that:
a) will not explode and destroy your city block
b) will not burn an orifice in your intestine
c) do not contain heavy metals
d) et
unless explicitly stated that they do.

As Americans, we have seen a large reduction in consumer rights, largely being yielded to allow the expansion of coporate rights because of corporate lobbyists in Washington.
Politicians in Washington are funded by corporations. Corporations don't care about consumer rights, they care about making a profit. Making a profit usually means disregarding consumer rights.

Ralph Nader is a consumer rights advocate.

Great Britain banned Dasani water after finding that it was bottled tap water and contained carcinogens like barium, a poisonous heavy metal. This was a step foward in the consumer rights movement.

It's good to know that although consumer rights have been severely reduced, they're not completely gone yet. We've got a couple years left.
