Just using different examples. We are for "feminist" causes, it just doesn't go far enough in describing the rights we are concerned about.
Rights that aren't personal to us or for groups we are not part of mean as much as those for us. I am a straight, white, middle aged woman...but the lack or stripping of rights for kids or elderly or gays or ex-felons or how many young black men we make into felons and other issues of prison system snd on and on...do affect me because I am a human on earth.

We need a bigger word that covers rights for all.
