"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 chivalry is outdated.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*
