Femism is a collection of ideologies that have existed for around 200 years or so. It is used as a blanket term for many things, but really there are as many types of feminism as there are cats. At its root, feminism has been about equal rights for women, (votes, pay, legal, social, respect).
Some people accuse feminists of hating men or viewing women as superior. Some radfems are like that, but most aren't. The very difficult struggles of women in the 20th century has resulted in signifigant gains for women IN 1ST WORLD COUNTRIES, to the point where some crazies call men worse off than women. Feminism isn't solely focused on women (it's more focused on womens issues, but most fems don't ignore men's issues), most feminists do not view men as inferior.
Feminists are mostly proponents of that people a. shouldn't judge based on gender and b. aren't limited by their biology. Thanks to feminists, sexism and rape are despised, pay diff. and legal discrim. are illegal, sex is much less taboo, the patriachy is gone and now women don't obey husbands or fathers, among many others. Now to the dark side. An new feminist ideology has emerged, not focusing on places that need feminism, like Iran where women's rights are in the dark ages, they instead focus on people's free speech first world countries. These feminists focus on a very vauge patriachy, and rape culture, and use it as an escuse to control people's speech. Remeber that it is a diverse label and you should be fine.

Get the Feminism mug.Related Words
A society of people mostly in the USA that claim to fight for gender equality, though, most fight for women to have all the power. Some things the bitches complain about are men getting paid more even though most men have more life threatening jobs, men speeding their legs on a bus so they don't crush their dick, and conventions to help men suicide.
Feminism is fucking dumb.

Get the Feminism mug.An archaic term that is coined to mean equality between the sexes. First and Second wave feminism still follow this definition, and the suffragettes deserve respect for winning the women the vote and so on.
However, there is a different kind of feminism today. 3RD WAVE. The third wave is what today's society knows as SJWs, "The Triggered", Tumblrinas, and Feminazis. These loveless creatures usually take the form of an obese woman with brightly coloured hair and an attitude even more unattractive than their physical phenotypes. The third wave are a very, very different breed of woman in comparison to the other waves, and should not be associated as such.
Third Wave Feminism can be described as: "A political movement of prejudiced first world women who wish to silence free speech and dominate the world in a new age of matriarchy"
That being said, there is also the sad loveless creature known as the "male feminist" who is even more hypocritical, delusional and sees supporting these women as the only way they could ever be loved, but this rarely works out as many feminists are also queer/lesbian and despise males.
