"the advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes."

I stand by this definition when discussing feminism, just means equality for both men and women.

It has become a bad word in part because of some Tumblr girls who call themselves radical feminists and it's not that relevant nowadays in most countries we got equal rights, but it's still important in some places.
Also feminism and equalism are the same thing

To pretend that women are equal to men until there are consequences or responsibilities, then we need to give women special treatment.
Feminism demands more female soldiers but unlike men shouldn't be forcefully drafted into the army in case of war.

Contrary to popular belief and perhaps its name, feminism is not, in fact, a movement based on female superiority, but rather that men and women and people of all genders are equal. The name may be misleading, but the Webster Merriam Dictionary defines it as ' the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes'. Thus, anyone who wants total equality is a feminist and can consider themselves as such. Men can be feminists as well.
Feminism is not meant to discriminate against men but empower all genders.
