Someone who supports the empowerment of women. Traditionally to the point of equality with men. Some go too far, many don't. Not to be confused with Feminazi; women who take feminism too far and assault men, and who are used as a straw-man argument by neck-beards who are intimidated by something they don't understand (women).
1. I'm a feminist because there are gender-based issues that must still be addressed by our society as a whole

Get the feministmug. An individual who believe that men and women are of equal competence and mental strength and should be treated as such. Believes that a man is an incompetent individual only if there is proof that he is, not just because he is a male. Will get fed up with almost every definition of feminist on Urban dictionary. If any of the above are not true of an individual, THEY ARE NOT A FEMINIST.
I am a feminist, therefore I believe that in court if a male and female individual commit the same crime, they should have the same sentence no matter what gender they are.

Get the feministmug. a feminist just wants equal opporutnities to men. They don't hate men, and accept, and like chivalry and many men are also feminists and think women should be paid as much as men. Feminism means that if men cant hit women, women cant hit men. That male rape victims are just as important as female ones, and that it is DEFINITELY not their fault. Femi-nazis are feminists who believe females are better than men. PLEASE do not mix the two up.

Get the feministmug. A person, typically a woman, who claims to support equal rights regarding sex and gender but are actually battling each other for the title of 'Most Opressed'. Someone who wishes to get rid of things that offend or trigger them, instead of realizing not everyone is going to be nice to you or have the same views. Feminists often advocate for minorities because they consider themselves to be involved in this group even if they are a wealthy white woman. They chant about respect towards black people, people within the lgbtq community (specifically variations of transgender and/or queer people), and all other races/genders/sexualities. But because of the display in which they show support, they hurt the validity and/or reputation of the groups they try to defend. Especially when they speak of a group they know little to nothing about or have no personal experience with. BUT ITS OKAY BECAUSE WOMEN ARE TOTALLY OPRESSED TOO IN MODERN DAY AMERICA !!
Young misguided feminist: There are so many things I want to do with my life that I can't because I'm oppressed every day by lack of non-sexual female representation in video games and the patriarchy. I'm totally not just limiting myself based on an ideology that has no place in the western world because everyone on tumblr agrees with me !
