Feminist

A feminist is someone who believes in equality for both men and women. A feminist advocates for equal rights for men and women, and for the right to express and not suppress oneself. One example of this is the feminist's fight to end toxic masculinity, which is the notion that men must follow strict gender roles or else they are not "manly" enough, a popular example of which is that men aren't supposed to cry.

FEMINISM WAS NOT CREATED TO BE AND IS NOT ANTI MAN. At the very beginning of feminism you find the suffragette movement. Women wanting the right to vote. Then there was the Feminist movement in the 60’s and 70’s it was mainly about equal work and pay for women (which women still don’t have. Go look at some unbiased data it’s clear.) None of these movements were looking to take away a mans right to vote, or his job, or take away from their pay check. It was simply giving women the same benefits that men were given. To this day they are not looking to take away any of a mans rights or privileges(and the fact that now this word is mostly associated with negativity about men just makes it clear what fucking happened.) The only reason “feminist” has become a “bad word” is because men have misinterpreted it. The radical feminists that hate men are literally 1 out of 500 maybe. People have taken those radical women who identify as feminists and made the whole feminist movement anti man. Yes, I know women and men are very different physically,but even if we go from that point of view it still doesn’t explain everything. If women are more nurturing why are there more men doctors then women. If women are better at teaching why are there more men professors than women. Men have higher paying jobs in all these fields no matter what body you have. It has nothing to do with who is more naturally fit for the job and has more to do with the bias our world still has toward women.

Feminist

Not to be mistaken for "misandrist" (someone who hates men), a feminist is a person who wants to achieve the political, economic, personal, and social equality of the genders. For centuries women have lived without basic rights. It was feminists who got women the right to vote, the right to divorce, the right to have an abortion, everything that women are able to do today. Nonetheless, there are still disadvantages, such as the wage gap, abortion laws, sexual abuse/consent laws, etc. Misogyny still exists. Thus, feminism is still needed, not as an effort to "banish men" or whatever, but to simply get HUMAN RIGHTS and be treated as HUMAN. Some feminists believe in the intersectionality theory/intersectional feminism, which is a branch of feminism that is all inclusive and identifies other kinds of discrimination that overlap with sexism. Essentially, feminists fight for minorities - and that includes male minorities (POC, LGBT, etc.). Feminists empower women of all races, religions, sexualities, etc. by promoting body positivity, shutting down slut-shaming, shutting down misogynistic views, embracing sexuality, and so much more. Feminists also fight against toxic masculinity. Feminists literally just want everyone to be happy, have equal opportunities, and break down barriers and toxic norms.

"I think women should be able to express themselves however they like. I mean I think that's feminism. Taking pride in your body, taking pride in your work, and doing whatever you want...I think you get to be strong in yourself and do what YOU feel good doing. But that's also just in general. People should be able to do what they want and not be stereotyped"

-- Ariana Grande, a feminist and a queen

"I don't consider myself an anything-ist, but my life has been shaped by powerful women. My father once told my mother that woman was made from the rib of Adam, and my mom broke his jaw"
-- Ron Swanson from Parks and Recreation, in response to being called a 'feminist'
