Women's rights, at least in Chris's mind, refer to the right of women to take their clothes off in protest of being drawn with pickles. Given his admitted love of the 1964 classic Mary Poppins, he presumably stole the concept from the character of Mrs. Banks, who is a suffragette in 1910 England.[1] Of course, Chris wouldn't have the first idea of what "women's suffrage" was, let alone the impact it had on world history, and why it was being shown in the movie in the first place. Susan B. Anthony would be proud.

His extreme zeal for "womens' rights" probably comes from a Mrs. Banks, the mother of Jane & Michael. As the story is set in early 20th century England, women do not yet have the right to vote. Mrs. Banks is the first character we see in the film proper, and she also sings the first song, Sister Suffragette, during which she mentions Emmeline Pankhurst being arrested (again).[2]

Mrs. Banks and her friends were depicted as struggling for the greater cause of being treated as an equal, with the same rights and treatment. But Chris takes it to mean they simply want to remove their clothes and fuck.

Background

Things going on in Chris's head: "Ooh, let's make a fan comic of Ze German Wasching Machine porn film. Wait, that'd make me look like a sexist jerk. Let's add a disclaimer. There! It's all peachy now!"
The very essence of femininity, according to Chris. How else are we supposed to interpret this?

It is obvious that Chris is aware of the idea that objectifying women is frowned upon; every time he makes his female characters use their feminine qualities (to put it altogether too mildly), he is quick to add a disclaimer that he respects the women for both their minds and bodies, and/or make the claim that the characters are doing it because they want to fight for the women's rights. However, due to his mental block, he fails to understand what the society would consider a correct course of action, to wit, not objectify the women in the first place, and that disclaimers like these won't alleviate the fact that he's doing something that is considered inappropriate. In short, "do as I say, not as I do."

Instead, Chris allows himself to be controlled by his own desires, and has soaked in all sorts of knowledge about women primarily from anime, video games, and in particular pornography, last of which Chris considers "educational". He has had several problems realizing the difference between exaggerated stereotypes and the reality, as also evidenced by his racist remarks.

Christian Weston Chandler: fighting for women's rights, every chance he gets.

Chris's most prominent reference to women's rights occurs at the end of Sonichu in Episode 17, in which the Rosechus of CWCville strip to celebrate their victory over Jason Kendrick Howell and assert their dominance over 4-cent garbage.com.

Chris's understanding of women's rights demonstrates how entrenched his stereotypical view of women truly is. While not outwardly misogynistic, Chris nevertheless has a view that true liberation for women involves their being able to strip without interference, and to be interpreted as women without pickles.

For Chris, the truest expression of a woman's freedom is to strip. More tellingly, the truest expression of a woman's freedom is to strip and produce erotic artwork for a male audience. Chris subtly admits that women possess a great deal of power over him; in his mind, they are truly able to exercise their complete freedom in society when given the right to fully exploit what gives them power - their chinas, tits, and asses. True women's liberation does not involve the treatment of women as equals, but rather opens up avenues for half of the population to finally get the chance to exploit the other half.

Despite their phenomenal talent for fighting evil, Chris depicts Rosechus as passive sexual toys for Sonichus. Reflecting Chris's own distorted image of women, the Rosechus in his comics tend to exhibit a desire to engage in stereotypical behavior, with occasional aggressive sexual overtures. Women play the role of deus ex machina in Chris's comics - occasionally leaving their role as supporting characters to engage in acts of great bravery and heroism. This mindset is painfully obvious in Chris's interaction with women during his love quest. Chris takes on a passive role in his attraction strategy, waiting to be approached by women who he thinks will take interest in his appearance. Chris essentially is looking for a maternal figure in his life (paging Dr. Freud). Rather than aiming to better himself, he is looking to be fulfilled and served by women. Rather than having the full potential to use their talents in society, women's rights are the rights of women to bring pleasure to men as Chris sees fit.

When occasionally confronted with his sexism, Chris becomes extremely indignant and offended (as seen in the White Knight E-mails). When his sexism is pointed out he gets upset and clarifies that he would never harm a woman (though he has no problem threatening them). Chris seems to be under the impression that "sexism" basically means "physical abuse," and can't process the idea that treating women as sexual objects obsessed with shopping is still a form of sexism.

TL;DR version

Chris tries to pass off his sexism and misogyny as pseudo-feminism and will never get laid.
