The movement to spread equality to everyone around the globe. People think that feminism is just females trying to be just like men. That is ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE. Feminists want men and woman to be equal, as well as straight people and lgbtq+ people.
Ignorant person: feminism is so stupid. It’s just women trying to be men.
Feminist: actually feminism is a movement of activism trying to make the world a better place using equality.

Get the Feminismmug. The outlandish belief that men and women should be treated as equal and that neither gender should be hated or treated differently.
If you don’t support feminism, you believe that females are significantly inferior to males because they are females.

Get the Feminismmug. A belief that women deserve to be treated on an equal par with men. It also denounces sexism as derogatory and offensive.

Get the feminismmug. A movement to promote equality and fight oppression. That it does so at the expense of male power and privilege is a result of patriarchy, not feminism.

Get the feminismmug. Feminism is a broad subject with many valid definitions. Among them the most popular and widely accepted is that it is the radical notion:
"that women are in fact human beings with the same basic human rights and needs for self fullfillment as men."
A definition that might seem flat and dumb to the less educated masses who might not consider the short historic period this has been an accepted idea. (some are still arguing.)
There are many challenges yet to conquer for the modern feminist, you need only take a look at the other definitions offered at this very site to get a general feeling for the hassle and dicrimination a woman or man feminist might encounter daily.

Next time ignorant suckers bemoan the fact that they no longer have the legal responcibility of the woman they choose to mary, the fact that they no longer have to fear getting a girl pregnant each time they have sex and the fact that they can afford the newest wide screen tv because their significant other was able to chip in cause she's like getting payed soon to be eaqually at her job. Take a time to think about what feminism gave you for free while you was busy scratching your balls and feeling underprivileged.

Get the feminismmug. Feminism was why Christina found a job on a fishing trawler, and she proved she was as capable of going into work, bespite the possibility of dying, as any man, as long as she drowned her fears with alcohol .
