Mary shrugged off the stereotype of the man-hating feminist and embraced FEMINISM when she realized that it could potentially help her receive higher pay at work and aid her in countless other areas of her life.

Get the feminism mug.Feminism is the movement of women that attempts to break down the barriers of gender inequality. It is thought to have began in the late 19th century with the womens campaign for the vote. It began to pick up steam in the again in the sixties with the arival of the pill but began to fizzle out in the 90s.
It is now largely regarded (particularly by ignorant skinheaded men) as obselete. "Ya vote, ya work, Wha' ya monin' 'bout ya freaky lesbo" is the general thought among this crowd.
True women can vote but that is hardly the surface of gender inequality. Women CAN work but are also expected to look after the kids and do the housework. Equal? I don't think so. Women are also statistically paid less for doing the same jobs as men and hold relatively few high powered jobs compared to men.
Sure women have made progress but there are still major inequalties in society that need to be solved.
"Why do I care?" I hear those of you who are male say. Well, you have mothers, sisters, wives etc. Wouldnt you be furious if they were disadvantaged because they were black or gay or disabled? Of course you would! So why is it ok for this to happen to your family because they are women?
You do not have to hate men or burn bras or be a lesbian to be a feminist. You just have to believe in equality.
Feminists (including men) kick ass!

Kurt Cobain and John Lennon.
This isn't an opinion but a simple fact. They described themselves as proud feminists and challenged the traditional gender roles through their music. Do the research.
So everyone who gives this a thumb down can't read, is a fan of Pat Robertson and his hate speeches or simply enjoys spreading lies about an idea that is honorable through and through.

Kurt Cobain, the proto feminist: “... at the top of the food chain is still the white, corporate, macho, strong ox male. Not redeemable as far as I’m concerned. ... Sexism has to be blown wide open…but there are thousands of green minds, young gullable 15 year old boys out there just starting to fall into the grain of what they’ve been told of what a man is supposed to be ...”

Get the feminist mug.A type of feminism that goes too far. One that tells women that they are all victims and that all men are the suspects and oppressors and that women shouldn't present themselves sexually because all men see all women as objects which are incapable of thinking, moving, having agency, feeling and having lives and desires of their own that exist solely for sex. The feminism that tries to find an inequality in every single thing and situation to complain about. It is an hate movement that is misandrist and unconsciously misogynist. It condemns heterosexuality and male desire and makes all men look bad. They also want to condemn Valentine's Day as "objectification" and something that perpetuates sexist stereotypes according to an article called, "They Even Hate Love". The feminism that wants to get rid of all masculinity. This is the movement that is going to turn men into Shy Guys and women into Shy Clouds from Mario - ones that can't be together. This is the feminism that tells women that they can't do this or that because they are victims as in slaves with no agency controlled by the patriarchy and that whatever decisions that they make that any male is okay with is feeding into the patriarchy. It tells us that air conditioners or simply, AC's are sexist. It denies any biological and scientific differences between males and females. It tells people that a certain kind of fart is misogynist and that there is bug geiser of a patriarchy out there.

Get the Radical Feminism mug.defined as misandrist male who echos the gender-feminist anti-male myths and negative stereotping of men agenda to either get laid or receive government contracts to find new ways to blame other men for women's plights. These echo-feminists while bashing men in their own way have the prestige, power and money to control the abilities and lives of other men; sounds a lot like being patriarchal or bullying.
Similar to actual echo the words are hollow and only mimics the source; there is no body or truth.

The man was describing his personal experience of being a male victim of female perpetrated domestic violence when the acedemic echo-feminist dismissed his experience as a male abuser in denial.

Get the echo-feminist mug.
A once political movement which helped women get equal rights in social, economic and political stances , now used as an excuse for man- hating, and over all acting like an imbecile. Recently it has been called "intersectional feminism" meaning it covers the rights of all races, genders, religions and sexual orientation. Sounds great, but it does nothing but promote "white-guilt", shaming of cisgender and/or heterosexual people, worshipping obesity and entertaining the idea of a "patriarchy".
Many if not all feminists use the "wage gap" and the "pink tax" as reasons as to why feminism is needed. If it is not those two it is "white male privilege", "rape culture", or "cultural appropriation", and all the things I've named have one definitive thing in common, they don't exist.
Feminism has paired up with movements such as BLM /aka, "we'll commit violence to prove POC aren't violent!"/, Body positivity, which honestly wouldn't be a bad movement if it didn't promote obesity, And Islam, which is a religion which, at its core, shames and punishes homosexuals, and women with death amongst other horrible things.
When in an argument with a feminist many if not all will scream "racism", "sexism", "homophobia", "Islamophobia" and "Trump supporter" to shut you up, or bring up events which have not happened in decades to attempt to prove their point, ie. black slavery.
Feminism has also sparked movements such as the "meninists" or "MGTOW" which only prove how ridiculous feminists are.
