Feminism (noun)
The advocacy of women’s rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes.
Feminism at its core is about equality of men and women. Critics argue that equality is not possible because women are not the “same” as men. However, feminism advocates equal rights and equal access to opportunities. Men and women do not have to be the “same” to have the right to equality.

Get the Feminism mug.A fight for gender equality and rights for women. Like the fight for rights in the LGBTQ+ community, but you bash it because you can't stand the handful of toxic feminists and you decide that it shouldn't exist.

Get the Feminism mug.What feminism used to be
A fight for equal rights between men and women. Such as the rights to vote and own land. It was a good cause.
What feminism is now
Still a good cause, most women have gotten basic human rights, but we still fight for the ones who don't. There are also many other things such as d/m/stic v/olence (o, m, i) and r/pe (a) that are still very large problems that need to be solved. Intersectionality is also something that needs to be studied more in depth. I am in no way saying that men do not have these problems too, I am just saying it is more common that women have these problems. You can be a feminist man.
