A feminist is someone who fights for gender equality. A lot of people think feminists are women who think they are superior to men. That isn't a feminist, but a misandrist. A real feminist can be any gender, and fights for equal rights for both women AND men. If someone claims to be a feminist but hates men, they aren't a real feminist.
Someone: You're a feminist? So you hate men?
Feminist: No, that's a misandrist. I fight for equal rights for both genders.
Someone: Oh, okay. That makes sense.
Feminist: No, that's a misandrist. I fight for equal rights for both genders.

What feminism used to be
A fight for equal rights between men and women. Such as the rights to vote and own land. It was a good cause.
What feminism is now
Still a good cause, most women have gotten basic human rights, but we still fight for the ones who don't. There are also many other things such as d/m/stic v/olence (o, m, i) and r/pe (a) that are still very large problems that need to be solved. Intersectionality is also something that needs to be studied more in depth. I am in no way saying that men do not have these problems too, I am just saying it is more common that women have these problems. You can be a feminist man.

Get the Feminism mug.A feminist cookie is the term for the reward some men seem to be seeking for saying or doing something feminist. Asking someone if they want a cookie may be used to mock, more or less gently, such attention seeking. A man congratulating himself on his feministic treatment of women is likely to be called out for cookie seeking. In general, feminists consider feminist behavior an essential matter of etiquette, not a cause for general congratulations and acclaim.
