an idea that involves the fair and equal treatment of people, regardless of their gender. A feminist believes that while women are physically different from and think differently about some things than men, this does not make either superior or inferior, it just means that they are different and should not be used as a basis for preferential treatment either way. Supporters of equal treatment for both genders are called feminists, whether or not they themselves are female.
Note: some feminists, often referred to as feminazis, have given feminism a bad name by claiming that men are evil and that oppression lurks everywhere. This is unfortunate, as real feminism is about gender equality.

Feminism means that women are not *better* than men, just different from them, and should not be treated any better or worse than men for it.

Get the feminism mug.A person who believes that women are equal to men and thus advocates for women's rights. They are commonly thought of as hypocritical, although this is merely a masculinist notion, and holds little grounding. Any sane and fair person should label themselves as much a feminist as anything else, as it is only fair that women are treated equally.
Charlotte: I believe women are equal to men!
Thomas: WOAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?! You crazy feminist b*tch.
