A movement trying to liberate women across the world from oppression. Though people give it a lot of hate, it is here to help women get economical, political and social justice!
Though the corporate feminism has poisoned what feminism fights for and many pseudofeminists are hypocrites, it is still a necessary movement for women. Most feminists stand for rape prevention, domestic violence help and no sex trafficking and not girl power lipsticks and a female version of ghostbusters! The media will try to make us sound ridiculous so people don't take us seriously. It's propaganda!
Keep in mind, all good feminism is intersectional as hearing the voices of women of colour, poor women, disabled women etc is just as important!

Not like Other Girls™: Feminism has become a joke! #WomenAgainstFeminism
Feminist: Please tell that to the eleven-year-old who had to give birth to her rapist's baby and the sixteen-year-old who got sentenced to 61 years in prison for standing up to her sexual abuser.
Misogynist: Actually, men get raped toooooo! Women just hate men!
Feminist: *sighs*
Feminist: While, it is true that men get raped and male victims should be just as valid, most of these perpetrators are men. Women don't hate men as much as men hate women and men hate each other. And what's sad is that misogyny has seen women murdered, tortured and abused yet what men define as "women hating men" is #MenAreTrash tweets and internet trolls. These aren't comparable.

Get the Feminismmug. A person who believes women deserve to be seen and treated with the same respect as men. Reasons: Women get judged and degraded for things when men don’t (when girls have sex or wear revealing clothes they are sluts, hoes, slags, thots or whores but men are praised).
Women are objectified and sexualised all the time (e.g catcalling, and terms like ‘school girl’ being sexualised but not ‘school boy’. Songs about only women’s bodies) It makes women feel dirty & uncomfortable & unworthy as they feel they are seen for no more than their bodies. Men often feel they have a right to control women (in 18 countries husbands are legally allowed to prevent their wives from working)
Men often think everything is about them (e.g if a women wears makeup) Men often feel they own a woman’s body (in around 10 counties (used to be 36 in 2017) a husband r@ping his wife is legal & 1 in 6 women have been the victim of attempted or completed rape in the US (ofc men are r@ped too, but it’s much more common for women). It is more in other places)
Women are often seen as dumber than men (there has still not been a SINGLE US female president, women aren’t allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia and the term ‘housewife’ + the gender pay gap still exists).
There are many more reasons and more depth but I can’t make it too long. If society has made you misogynistic, you need to be open-minded & change. Feminism does not exist because women want power. Be smarter. Misogyny is not cool.

Get the Feminismmug. Feminism is a social/political movement and ideology that aims to achieve the political, economic, personal, and social equality of the sexes. It is also a sub category of Egalitarianism that focuses primarily on women's issues. There are many different types of feminists with different ideas and approaches on how to achieve equality between the sexes such as radical feminists, liberal feminists, eco feminists, etc. There is also a pervasive attitude that feminism is only for women which is just not true, anybody can choose to be a feminist regardless of gender.
Joan: In class today we talked about feminism and what the movement is about, did you know that in the US child marriage is still legal?
Harriet: Yes! And in many states it is perfectly legal for police officers to have "sex" with people in their custody even though people in custody cannot consent.
Joan: How horrifying! Feminism still has a lot of work left to do.
