I would like to know the meaning of the next sentence.
She knows the women's lefts.
![]()
'Women's rights' are those things to which they are entitled.
We can speak of a punch thrown by a boxer with his right hand as 'a/his right'.
Dennis is jokingly saying that Maragaret is not only a feminist but a good fighter - she has just given him a black eye, with a 'left', a punch with the left hand.
Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.
Women's rights -- what women are entitled to. In other words, girls have equal privileges as boys.
The joke is that he used the word "rights" as a reference to boxing, where getting hit with the right hand would be a "right" and getting hit with the left hand would be a "left."
Sounds like Dennis said something about girls to Margaret and she didn't' appreciate it, so she punched him with her left hand.
