first wave feminism

n. Late 19th and early 20th century movement to gain political rights for women. Includes: voting rights and property rights. Synonymous with real feminism

A: I'm a feminist.
B: Maybe, but you've hijacked the term. I'm a real feminist, first wave feminism. I believe in equal rights for women, but unlike you, I don't blame society for my hardships. I work hard and it shows in my performance. I'm respected by my male peers and control my own life. You play the victim and blame others for being offended.
A: RAPE APOLOGIST!

Tumblr Feminism

The school of feminist thought that, instead of fighting for gender equality, is more concerned with seeming liberal and feminist and not actually *being* feminist. This is often achieved through strict internet doctrine and openly ostracizing those who do not agree with them. One other symptom of Tumblr Feminism is that, when asked to explain their opinions, sufferers will get angry and storm off rather than actually answering the question. Similar words and ideas include Feminist Nazi, fringe feminists, and feminventing.

Origin: The term "Tumblr Feminism" derives from the social media site Tumblr, which is one of the major gathering places of those with such beliefs. However, Tumblr is not the only site this phenomenon is present, and likewise, not all feminists on Tumblr are true "Tumblr Feminists."

"She told me that I was anti-woman for thinking strip clubs are wrong. Don't strip clubs actually contribute more to the objectifying of women, which is detrimental to female rights?"
"Yeah, don't put much stock into what she says about the matter. She's a Tumblr Femininist."

"Because she believes in Tumblr Feminism, she is against all forms of shaming. Unless, of course, it involves shaming someone who has a different opinion than her."

tumblr feminist

A girl (or boy, but generally a girl) who thinks that re-blogging photos from their parent's basement on a MacBook that they didn't buy with their own money is "being an activist" when in reality they have probably never gone to a protest, fundraiser, or meeting for any social justice organization and probably never will cause any civil change in their lifetime. Similar to a "Facebook Activist" a la the Kony 2012 viral video.

A Tumblr Feminist will also post pictures of themselves naked or half-naked on the internet and claim it is "art" and attack any person who talks about their body (despite the fact they posted their tits on the internet).

"Amy is a total Tumblr Feminist, one time she wrongfully accused that guy of rape just to get some twitter followers."

fainting couch feminism

adj. : Beliefs and practices that coincide with the "Third-Wave" feminist idea that people's feelings and emotions must be treated as delicate and fragile. Common on university campuses in the forms of "trigger warnings" and "safe spaces."

A: I thought the ghost of Martin Luther King Jr. was giving the commencement speech for the university.
B: He was, but since he discusses real equality, a couple white feminists felt he didn't acknowledge the "lived experiences" of black people. They felt this was triggering so they used a hashtag campaign to get him banned.
A: But i though universities were where people went to have the hard conversations, work through them and better society as a result.
B: They use to be, but since fainting couch feminism took over, they're just places young adults go to be coddled like children for $40k a year.

A REAL feminist

The feminist movement has become a joke and laughing stock that has become much too political resulting in the movement currently going nowhere despite good core intentions.

A real feminist, unlike the new idea of 3rd tier feminism, is a person of either gender who wants to "define, establish, and achieve political, economic, personal, and social equality of sexes. This includes seeking to establish educational and professional opportunities for women that are equal to those for men." these people- contrary to the bad rep the new age feminists get- are people who don't feel rage or hatred or superiority to men, simply someone who wishes to be represented as an equal. So, in conclusion, a feminist is not a man-hater, merely a person who believes in, and fights for equality.

(an example of a fake feminist)
Fake feminist: "men are all evil!!!"
Real feminist: "we need to stand up for ourselves and make sure we feminism in society!"
fake feminist: "feminists are meant to hate all men!"
real feminist: "feminists are meant to fight for their rights, stand up for unfair treatment of women, and fights for equality."
