Supposedly laws consider both gender equal, so no, you don't have any rights over women, and women have no rights over you, except that you mentioned you have less rights than women, a claim anedoctal at best.. What do you mean by rights?
This should be good...
Yes, I'm referring to legal rights, obviously. Which is my point, if there was some patriarchal system against women in the west, it wouldn't be so equal between the genders and men wouldn't suffer oppression either. But I guess to feminists, male oppression isn't as bad or is caused by the patriarchy itself which just begs the question about it's validity.
If you want to get technical on rights though, women do seem to have more rights in some respects, like child custody and alimony where as I can't think of something a man has in his favor legally.

You don't know anything about feminism. Feminism very heavily focuses on women's rights in the middle east. How can you think they don't?
See, this is what I was talking about when I was calling feminism dogmatic.
Make an ad hominem that I just don't understand and avoid giving evidence.

I'm going to take a guess that you get most of your information from people who oppose them. Try reading up from the point of view of feminists, not those who oppose them. There is a huge movement towards women's rights in the middle east. You have been told there isn't by people who also don't read feminist literature.
Get what information from? aren't you throwing stones from your glass house though? wouldn't you be the one getting your information from the one's who advocate it? I've yet to see where I've gotten my information from that opposes feminism inherently.
Where is this campaign for actually oppressed women instead of these whiny 1st world problem hipster feminists? and how well is it doing for those women over there? not good huh? still majorly unaffected by this supposed campaign for them. Again, you must not be following feminism very closely because there are a bunch of harpies that write horrible shit all over tumblr about men and it can get hundreds of thousands of notes and positive feedback from feminists.
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.
