“We teach girls to shrink themselves
To make themselves smaller
We say to girls
"You can have ambition
But not too much
You should aim to be successful
But not too successful
Otherwise you will threaten the man"
Because I am female
I am expected to aspire to marriage
I am expected to make my life choices
Always keeping in mind that
Marriage is the most important
Now marriage can be a source of
Joy and love and mutual support
But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage
And we don't teach boys the same?
We raise girls to each other as competitors
Not for jobs or for accomplishments
Which I think can be a good thing
But for the attention of men
We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings
In the way that boys are
Feminist: the person who believes in the social
Political, and economic equality of the sexes”
-Beyoncé ***Flawless
Feminism isn’t an excuse for women to think they are superior to men, a religion or belief system, and not something to dehumanize men. It’s real life. It’s the bonding of women all around the world to fight for equality between sexes. Women and men do not have equal rights. Every day, women struggle because someone thinks that they are not equal to men. It wasn’t created to make women superior to men. Always think about the comments you are making about feminism before you say them. If you can’t be kind, be quiet.

That person really believes in the equal rights between men and women. They must be a feminist.
Feminism- the bonding of women all around the world to fight for equal rights amongst all sexes

The belief that women are more than men and that men should have absolutely no rights, along with a lot of other irrational and hateful "arguements". As oppose to meninism, feminism is widely accepted and man-hate is perfectly fine in todays society, all under the mask of an "equal rights" movement.

NOW's Clearinghouse Against Fathers' Rights, The 3.9 billion dollar VAWA based on the myth that only men commit domestic violence and only women are victims, feminists claim that the VAWA is sex neutral, but then, they also claim that feminism is about equality.

The belief in the equality and full humanity of ALL genders.
Those who believe in the equality and full humanity of ALL genders are known as FEMINISTS. Gender equality

A movement of whiny bitches who want to further female privilege by blaming the patriarchy and calling people misogynists.

The TRUE meaning of feminism was the movement that encouraged gender equality. The face of feminism today is not at all how it is supposed to be. Feminists can be of any gender. But in todays society, female feminists reject male feminists because they just "dont get it". Todays feminism has turned to the wrong direction. It seems that most of their movement is anti-male and pro-female. They are even against people who arent feminists. This is not what it was once before.
A TRUE feminist would accept anyone, even if they are against what they believe. A TRUE feminist would not push their belief onto others. A TRUE feminist can be of ALL genders. A TRUE feminist would fight for equality for EVERYONE. A TRUE feminist would not degrade another human being.
The word "feminism" was not made from and for only females. Just look up who created the word and what it was supposed to be used for.
The things feminism fight:
Sexism (which can be expressed by all genders)
Racism
Anti-LGBTQ
Pro-male
Pro-female
Harrassment (in all shapes and form)
Rape (for all genders)
Shaming (body, career, physical health, mental health etc.)
Pedophiles
And much more
DO NOT oppose feminism because of what it has become today. Those people are NOT feminists. They are fighting wrong fights. If you want equality for ALL, you are a feminist. But do not stoop to the levels to the point where you are degrading the name itself by going against what it rightfully was.

Feminism can be divided into two categories:
1. Human rights feminism. This is feminism which advocates for equal rights and opportunities to be available to women in the law and government. This is based upon the basic right that no one deserves to be unfairly treated by the courts or lose their personal rights. It defends the rights to property, voting, and civil liberties. This type of feminism occurred in America in the 1900s and was one of the more mainstream feminism ideologies in the 60s 70s but has since given way to more modern forms of feminism in America, although it is beginning to occur in many theocracies.
2. Modern feminism. This is the radically politically correct form of feminism. It encourages the idea that both the male and female gender are either equal (or can be equal) in every possible way or the female gender is inherently superior. Many modern feminists argue that women are more intelligent than men, ignoring factual and scientific evidence. They ignore the fact that the female brain is considerably smaller than the male’s in both volume, weight, and brain cell content. They also “overlook” the fact that there have been no great female artists and few great female scientists. They use a “one or two” approach in PC rallies, using the few great female scientists such as Elizabeth Blackwell and small time artists as poster girls for their cause of female superiority. They ignore the larger ratio of male scientists and artists and brand their opponents as sexists (the politicians with the fundamentalists).
Modern feminism also encourages the idea that loose women should be as respectable and admirable as womanizers. They attempt to back this idea and stifle their insecurities by claiming the female orgasm is superior to the male’s. Despite these claims, scientific and societal evidence has proved otherwise, as women do not orgasm as often as males nor is their orgasm as fulfilling as the male’s, as proven by polls and pop culture and that women have traditionally been the providers of the pleasure in intercourse and men the receivers (as proven by 5000 years of culture and 500 million years of evolution). It is overall degrading to women because its PC approach advocates a positive handicap for women in careers and society, and that women should act unnaturally and attempt to completely ignore their instincts. While human rights feminism is based upon factual evidence, modern feminism is based upon bigotry and “literature.”

1. Human rights feminism: women advocating for the right to drive in Saudi Arabia; Women demanding the right to vote in 19th- early 20th century America.
2. Modern feminism: 3rd wave feminists claiming that stripping is empowering for women; Feminists trying to reverse gender roles in marriage; Feminists claiming that the average female is more intelligent than the average male.
