A word made to accelerate the rights of women over men, commonly used in the early 20th century to equalize gender opportunities, such as voting and work rights. Commonly used by females on social media to start arguments about why women are de-moralized by statements of one male individual, or as an excuse to call males "oppressed white guys." Commonly confused with Gender Equality.
Correct usage: "Man, women cant work at McDonalds anymore. We need some feminism here so that women can have the same rights as men!"
Incorrect usage: Peter; "Hey Miranda, Why do all the girls I like date the assholes?" Miranda; "OH MY GOD PETER THATS SEXIST FUCKING DOUCHEBAG YOURE FRIENDZONED OH MY GOD FEMINISTS ASSEMBLE AND KICK THIS OPPRESSED WHITE GUYS ASSHOLE"

Feminism runs on double standards and hypocrisy that work in a female's favor, and pointing out how the same double standards and hypocrisy that work in their favor are somehow working in a male's favor.
A female gets to say something like fuck you to anybody anywhere without anything bad happening to her. This is freedom and power males have never had, and females are still claiming they are/have always been the sex in need of liberating. Feminism is a selective way of thinking, males don't have a male version of a feminist for males.

Modern feminism, AKA Cancer, as it is known, is the practice of women asserting themselves as better than Men because they have ovaries.
Man: *Sitting in a way as to not crush testicles*
Feminist: OH MY GOD HE'S manspreading, THIS IS WHY MEN DON'T DESERVE TO EXIST
Man: Jesus christ this is why feminism is cancer.

1. The right to choose in a non-oppressive society that is free of societal hierarchies.
2. A movement to end sexist oppression as well as domination relations. This does not only aim to make women equal to men, but all people equal to each other in rights. It is one gear in the bigger machine of human rights.
3. A movement to recognize and work to end the oppression of women in any form.
4. An examination of sexism with the intent to end it.
5. A movement for social justice with an emphasis on gender.

A movement that aims for both genders to be equal. The common misconception is that it is a group of women who think that they are better than men (see misandrist). Feminism is recognising that men do have their own problems, specific to their gender, and so do women. Feminism is recognising that men get raped as well as women. Feminism is recognising the fact that women do get paid less than men and that this is wrong. Feminism is allowing boys to wear dresses if they want to and allowing girls to where pants. Feminism is accepting others as equals for who they are.
Just because it's called FEMinism, doesn't mean that it's just about girls. It's about everyone. Just like the phrase man kind includes women too.
