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 Feminist mug.A feminist is a person of any gender that is not sexist, homophobic, transphobic or racist. Basically someone with common sense that realised that we need equality as it is a human right.

Get the Feminist mug.Not to be mistaken for "misandrist" (someone who hates men), a feminist is a person who wants to achieve the political, economic, personal, and social equality of the genders. For centuries women have lived without basic rights. It was feminists who got women the right to vote, the right to divorce, the right to have an abortion, everything that women are able to do today. Nonetheless, there are still disadvantages, such as the wage gap, abortion laws, sexual abuse/consent laws, etc. Misogyny still exists. Thus, feminism is still needed, not as an effort to "banish men" or whatever, but to simply get HUMAN RIGHTS and be treated as HUMAN. Some feminists believe in the intersectionality theory/intersectional feminism, which is a branch of feminism that is all inclusive and identifies other kinds of discrimination that overlap with sexism. Essentially, feminists fight for minorities - and that includes male minorities (POC, LGBT, etc.). Feminists empower women of all races, religions, sexualities, etc. by promoting body positivity, shutting down slut-shaming, shutting down misogynistic views, embracing sexuality, and so much more. Feminists also fight against toxic masculinity. Feminists literally just want everyone to be happy, have equal opportunities, and break down barriers and toxic norms.
"I think women should be able to express themselves however they like. I mean I think that's feminism. Taking pride in your body, taking pride in your work, and doing whatever you want...I think you get to be strong in yourself and do what YOU feel good doing. But that's also just in general. People should be able to do what they want and not be stereotyped"

"I don't consider myself an anything-ist, but my life has been shaped by powerful women. My father once told my mother that woman was made from the rib of Adam, and my mom broke his jaw"
-- Ron Swanson from Parks and Recreation, in response to being called a 'feminist'
