Terminal-Feminitis

Selective feminism

Selective feminism refers to many feminists who only want equality when it benefits women, but neglects it otherwise. For example, wants men to only suffer blue collar jobs, doesn't care about male homelessness, etc but also demanding special privileges for women. Many feminists are this way nowadays. Some examples include Liza Mundy, Hanna Rosin, and to an extent also Elizabeth Badinter.

intersectional feminism

The kind of feminists who stand in the intersections, blocking traffic with their whining protests.
Employee: Sorry I was late for the meeting, boss; there were crowds holding up traffic at every light.
Boss: Those damned intersectional feminism protests again, huh? You'd think strong, independent women like that would have careers to be at right now.
Employee: Nope. They're too busy lamenting their victimhood and raging against the culturally institutionalized cisgendered patriarchy. And them making me late for work is **definitely** going to encourage me to side with them.

radical feminism

A 'current' in feminism that views gender relations and sexism as the direct result of a system of patriarchy and an androcentric (male-centered) society. Radical feminists go beyond critiques of legal systems, and critique the entire culture of gender and sex.

Radical feminism aims to challenge and to overthrow patriarchy by opposing standard gender roles and androcentrism, and calls for a radical reordering of society. These suggestions often include the abolition of gender roles, the support of GLBTQ rights and liberation, the restructuring of the family, and economic changes to end any gendered privileges.

Radical feminism has been around for a long time, but really began to developed into its current form during the Second Wave of feminism, and further evolved with the Third Wave, in which feminists began to explore the way sexism affects and is affected by other forms of antagonism and oppression, such as class and race.
Dude, I totally learned about the system of androcentric domination and oppression after taking a class on radical feminism. I feel both a sense of liberation and a responsibility to, like, aid the liberation of others.

Ultra-feminism

Ultra-feminism is like feminism but with the belief that women are better than men. While people are allowed to think what they want, the whole point of feminism is equality for BOTH men and women, not a bias to one or the other.
While sexism is a horrible thing, it does not give a reason for women to do the same thing to men.

Ultra-feminism is not good, but normal feminism is fine.
