A feel-good ideology that without any evidence asserts that men and women are equal and anybody who disagrees with it are automatically sexists. Exactly like religion, that without any evidence asserts god exists and anybody who disagrees with it are automatically demonic.

Get the Feminismmug. The belief that women and men should have the same rights and should be treated equally. This also fights so the gender roles are supresed for both genders. This doesn't want the supperiority of women it wants the same for both.

"I'm a feminist so men can cry without having questioned their sexuality, tht's what feminism is about."
"I am a feminist even if I am a man because I don't want my mum, my wife or my daughter to suffer discrimination only for being born a women."

Get the Feminismmug. 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.

Get the Feminismmug. 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.
