Women's rights are synonymous with human rights.
Resistance to oppression is a moral obligation, and a necessity for the preservation of self and society.
Fun fact: The catalyst behind the woman's rights movement is the exploitative structures of dominance and civil injustice woman have faced throughout written history.

Get the Human Rights mug.Men, typically wearing fedoras, who actually believe that men have a systematic disadvantage as compared to women. Claims that feminism is against equality and oppresses men. Do not seem to understand the concept that giving another group rights that you have always enjoyed does not take away your own rights. Will use bogus facts, faulty logic, contradictory statements and basic insults. There is a grain of truth in the fact that MRA's state that mens' issues are equally important in achieving gender equality (something that most reasonable feminists agree with). However, that being said, they often berate the female gender in doing so. Most MRA's appear to be men that want to mask their prejudice in a socially acceptable manner, giving lip service to equality when it is clear they don't actually believe in equality. Basically, trolls.
MRA: "She should have worn less revealing clothing. She was asking for it."
female: "You're victim blaming. Nobody asks to be raped."
MRA: "I'm not victim blaming, I just think she was sort of responsible for it."
female: "Dude that is so sexist it's not even funny."
MRA: "Well, I'm a Men's Rights Activist! Fuck those feminazis!"
female: "uuuMMMM, actually, feminists want equality for both genders, and they aren't trying to take away men's rights! We believe men should be able to control themselves because they are rational human bei---"
MRA: "You just want to repress our natural instincts! If you put a steak in front of a dog, you can't just expect it to---"
female: "Dogs have discipline."
MRA: "How dare you compare men to dogs! Fuckin' feminazis!"

Get the Men's Rights Activist mug.A funny joke. The invention of such a thing is hilarious, let alone False Information. Fake. Not real. Womens rights were created, but failed epically when Rosa Parks tried to sit in the back of the bus. Or when Hilary Clinton Totally lost the election. She failed the women of America. The only reason she even had the right to run for president, is cause she sucked Obama's Dick.
What do you call a women reading a blank piece of paper? A women reading her rights.

Being put on Mexican Food Rights (MFR) is, by all means, a punishment. It is fully intended to aggravate the user and push them to make more money. Generally, both parties involved, the MFR giver and the receiver, are very close friends or family; as who would pay for all of someones food if they barely knew them?
