Schrödinger's feminism

Schrödinger's feminism is a type of feminism that has a hypocritical double standard. In it, anything in the world where men have dominance is declared proof of an oppressive tyrannical patriarchy, whereas places where women have dominance (education) is seen as proof that men are inferior. Likewise, men's failures are laughed at while women's successes are applauded. Men's struggles are dismissed as their own fault or even something they deserve. Male led societies are evil while female led societies are justified. Notable purveyors of this ideology include Liza Mundy and Hanna Rosin, and to a small extent also Elizabeth Badinter.

Friend 1: I really feel like my gender studies class is super biased. They claim that men running things is evil but at the same time if women were atop the hierarchy it would be justified when things are reversed.

Friend 2: Schrödinger's feminism is basically what your gender studies class is indoctrinating you guys with. It's hypocrisy at the highest level.

femenism

Common misspelling of the word feminism.

I thought "femenism" was the correct spelling of feminism until I searched it on urbandictionary.com. It had one accurate definition, but I knew it was wrong because only 100 votes existed. I noticed 50 idiots had voted yes. I didn't vote, because even though I'm bad at spelling, I'm not an idiot.

Feminism

Feminism is a word that means equal rights for women. Technically, most feminists should actually be called humanists. I'll ignore that since it was, and to some extent still is an important movement. Way back in the day, life was pretty damn bad for women everywhere. No vote, no driving, you know about that stuff anyway. Eventually, much of the inequality dissappeared, thanks to the hard wark of early feminism. Sadly some still persist to this day. Fortunately, most people accept that such social changes are bound to be gradual, and eventually, true equality will exist. This is the type of world that everyone should strive to live in, not just feminists. But alas, in more recent times, there has been a growing movement of "militant feminism". This is alternatively known as female chauvenism, and feminazism. These people often demand MORE rights than men have, usually by arguing that they are superior to men and blame men for everything. Yes men started wars. Are you saying that women wouldn't have? Hilary Clinton supported the Iraq war. Margeret Thatcher sent troops to the Falklands. To propagate such a view on men is a sexist view you chauvenist pig-bitch. Such a view is not part of feminism, or at least it's original usage of the word. These people are betraying the women who fought for their rights. Possibly the worst part about them is that they are either the prevalent female authors and commenters for feminism on urban dictionary, or that these women are denying the existence female sexism that has taken seed among the femism movement. I've talked to these people. In real life. Not on the net. They DO exist.

Feminist of the militant variety(Yes, she actually said this):"It's not fair to generalise women, men allways do that" and "men shouldn't have any say in abortion"

Me:"I'd say TITS OR GTFO, but you're pretty damn fuck-fugly)

Feminism gets a bad name because of these asshats

Intersectional Feminism

The scurry for new sources that arises when demand for oppression outstrips supply

"I am so oppressed!!!"
"Really.. How?"
"I'm not sure yet. But intersectional feminism is opening up whole new horizons in places I can be oppressed!"
"Great! For a moment there I was scared we couldn't be victims any more"

Rules of Feminism

As referred to in Mean Girls, the Rules of Feminism state that no girl can date her friend's:
Ex-Boyfriends,
Crushes,
or
Relatives
Follow these simple rules and avoid hell in Girl World.

"Oh, no, you can't like Aaron Samuels.
That's Regina's ex-boyfriend. Ex-boyfriends are just off-limits to friends. I mean, that's just, like, the Rules of Feminism!" - Gretchen Weiners (Mean Girls)

3rd wave feminism

A cancerous group of ugly and disrespectful idiots who attack anyone who dont agree with them. Also there is no need for them.

3rd wave feminism shouldn't exist at all. It is pointless.

true feminism

the idea of true equality between men and women, not just treating women better than men and calling it 'equal.'

women being held to the same expectations, consequences, etc. as men.

Suzie says women should be able to have an abortion without a man's decision, but thinks men should also be required to pay child support if the woman wants to keep her baby--again, regardless of the man's decision. Suzie's ideas are not true feminism.
