To put it simply, a feminist is a person who believes in political, social and economic equality for all genders.
Contrary to popular belief, a feminist is not a man-hating misandrist, as that pretty much negates the sole point of gender equality (which is what feminism is about), a feminist is anyone with the decency to believe that every gender should be treated with the same amount of fairness and respect.

Person A: Hey, are you a feminist?
Person B: Am I a sexist man-hater? No.
Person A: That's... not what I asked... Do you even know what feminism is?
Person B: Yeah, I looked it up and most of the definitions said that all feminists were evil misandrists who thought that women were better than men.
Person A: Ah...

Get the feministmug. A feminist is someone who believes in equal rights between men and women. There are many intricacies to the expression of feminism and being a feminist. Despite race, gender, sexual orientation, and such: Anyone can be a feminist.
However, just like anything else, people can ruin feminism for others by giving being a feminist a bad image. Some do this by slinging the term around to excuse unacceptable behavior, while others have coined the term as an insult. Don't be that person. Just live your life, and love.

Person 1: Did you know that Alex is a feminist?
Person 2: Nah, I can't believe that. What a loser. I didn't peg Alex as that type of person. Aren't feminists the scum of the earth?
Person 1: Well, that depends on who you're asking. But knowing Alex... Alex is kind, and just wants equality between men, women, and everyone inbetween.
Person 2: oh???

Get the Feministmug. Feminists are not man haters. It is not women who refuse to shave. It is not women who only get abortions and don’t believe in relationships. We are women who want change not just for ourselves , but for everyone who has been underestimated and held back from equality. It’s men and women fighting for gender equality.

Get the Feministmug. Feminists are people who believe in equality for women. It’s a role for any gender. If people think it’s cancer, they lack medical knowledge.
Leo and Lisa are feminists because they believe that women should have the same paying wages as men.

Get the Feministmug. A person who believes that all genders are EQUAL. All these other definitions of feminism are shitty and incorrect. A person who believes women are better than men is NOT a feminist, OK?!
Example of a feminist
Person 1: we need to strive to improve equal rights for ALL - However, since the most repressed gender right now is female, we should probably prioritise improving their rights.
Not a feminist
Person: I HATE MEN!!!! THEY'RE ALL TRASH!!!!

Get the Feministmug. FEMINISM WAS NOT CREATED TO BE AND IS NOT ANTI MAN. At the very beginning of feminism you find the suffragette movement. Women wanting the right to vote. Then there was the Feminist movement in the 60’s and 70’s it was mainly about equal work and pay for women (which women still don’t have. Go look at some unbiased data it’s clear.) None of these movements were looking to take away a mans right to vote, or his job, or take away from their pay check. It was simply giving women the same benefits that men were given. To this day they are not looking to take away any of a mans rights or privileges(and the fact that now this word is mostly associated with negativity about men just makes it clear what fucking happened.) The only reason “feminist” has become a “bad word” is because men have misinterpreted it. The radical feminists that hate men are literally 1 out of 500 maybe. People have taken those radical women who identify as feminists and made the whole feminist movement anti man. Yes, I know women and men are very different physically,but even if we go from that point of view it still doesn’t explain everything. If women are more nurturing why are there more men doctors then women. If women are better at teaching why are there more men professors than women. Men have higher paying jobs in all these fields no matter what body you have. It has nothing to do with who is more naturally fit for the job and has more to do with the bias our world still has toward women.
Hello I’m a feminist I believe in the equality of men and women.
Have you learned about the feminist movement in history class yet?
