A person who fights for equal rights between men and women. Originally, these people used to focus on empowering women and encouraging them to break the sexist mold. Modern feminists, unfortunately, are equivalent to misandrists and people who believe in female supremacy. Bear in mind that these people are not feminists; they are feminazis, and they tarnish the name of actual feminists (ones who support rights for both male and female).
If you are a non-feminist reading this right now, and you hate modern feminists for the reasons stated above, please note that the feminists you hate are most likely Tumblr SJWs who do not truly want a just society. The majority of feminists actually have common sense, and do not want to be ridiculed for fighting for the rights of girls in underprivileged countries/areas. Ridicule feminazis all you like (because they deserve it), but I humbly request you to understand that feminism, at its core, is mainly meant for the girls of India, Syria, Iran, and other countries who have their education, innocence and happiness torn away from them and need support from privileged people. Believe me, I've seen it first-hand.

Get the Feminism mug.Contrary to popular belief and perhaps its name, feminism is not, in fact, a movement based on female superiority, but rather that men and women and people of all genders are equal. The name may be misleading, but the Webster Merriam Dictionary defines it as ' the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes'. Thus, anyone who wants total equality is a feminist and can consider themselves as such. Men can be feminists as well.
