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'

Feminist goggles

The glasses a feminists view a male through. The less effeminate and like a female the guy is, the more the feminist goggles distort reality.
When a girl tells a guy fuck you and its meant as an insult, more guys than not would hear the insult it was meant to be. The double standard is in the way guys don't get to say fuck you to each other without something happening, and females know how to get by without anything happening (unless its to the guy such as jail time or other similar consequences).

Girl-Fuck you!
What a guy is really like- Fuck you too ya mouthy fuckin cunt!

Guy through feminist goggles-Oh fuck she said fuck you, now I'm gonna have to fight a hard on. Whether I'm attracted to a girl in a romantic way or not, I know that because she's a girl and she said fuck you I'm gonna end up getting a hard on. All guys are like me (except guys that think like females). I hear things exactly as I want them to be, and if its a female, since I want to fuck her whether I've thought about whether I'd really want to fuck the girl (or marry the girl) or not, I want to hear her talk to me about fucking.

Feminist goggles

Feminist goggles also tell a feminist a guy should never question what a female is like when the public eye isn't looking, or think about who she really is (and if he does so the feminist should start by calling him any name she can think of to try and get him back in line, and keep him from getting/staying out of line from then on). Feminist goggles yell a feminist guys don't think about what's beneath the surface, they just think about how many females they can fuck in a lifetime (unless they're the guys that think like females)
Her feminist goggles made everything she thought she knew about the guys she hated true.

Feminist

Feminists are a group of people which fight for equal rights between men and women. They stand for equality and although many people think that feminists hate men and think that women are better than them - they don't. They want everyone to know that a woman can reach as many things as a man can.
For example, Emma Watson is a feminist.

feminist

To put it simply, a feminist is a person who believes in political, social and economic equality for all genders.

Contrary to popular belief, a feminist is not a man-hating misandrist, as that pretty much negates the sole point of gender equality (which is what feminism is about), a feminist is anyone with the decency to believe that every gender should be treated with the same amount of fairness and respect.
Person A: Hey, are you a feminist?

Person B: Am I a sexist man-hater? No.

Person A: That's... not what I asked... Do you even know what feminism is?

Person B: Yeah, I looked it up and most of the definitions said that all feminists were evil misandrists who thought that women were better than men.

Person A: Ah...

Feminism

Definition that does not mean man hating, women being superior to men or other bullshit people wrote here. If there are women acting that way, than that is misandry which is the same as misoginy. There are male And female feminists, anyone can be that. Feminism is about equality, respect, body positivity etc. So basically, it's common sense
Alan:"Man, until my grandma told me, i didn't know previous generations of women have suffered that much. I even heard that women still aren't equal now. She told me about feminism"
Scarlett:" You should be lucky we STILL want equality instead of revenge
