A doctrine, originally formulated during the 18th and 19th century as women's emancipation and suffragetism, that advocated the emancipation of women and attempts to get everyone else to recognize that women have equal rights to men.
Modern feminism is characterized by its doctrine of 'expanding choice for both genders', as feminists ostensibly desire a society where not only women may be allowed to do whatever they please (within reasonable, human limits), but to also allow men to enjoy the same freedoms as women should, which should include the choice of NOT doing something, if they do not wish to do so.
Unfortunately, thanks to misunderstanding and human nature, nobody really believes in this shit anymore, and people stereotypically associate feminists with hairy-armpit owning dykes who hate all men, and opponents of feminists as hairy boorish pig-subhumans.

It's fucking sad, but feminism is a great example of why humanity is a damn sight dumber than everyone likes to believe.

Get the feminism mug.where women believe that they should be EQUAL TO men. not to be confused with feminazi, where women believe that they should be more powerful than men. despite common misconception, feminism is not, let me quote, “the idea that stupid ugly women believe and say they should get the same rights as men, and then claim superiority to men. they believe that men should still hold doors for them and pull out their chairs and treat them like queens. when in fact they should get of their fucking high horse and do it themselves. don’t expect equality when you believe in your superiority. Bitches, sluts, hoes, tramps, cunts.” ah, thanks for that @dungoofed2012

Get the fiminist mug.Feminism has 3 waves. The first two waves pushed for rights and for women, like voting. THE DEFINITION of feminism is equality between men and women. Not complicated, right? Well, third wave feminism is pushing to eliminate the patriarchy by creating a matriarchy.
