A person, typically a woman, who advocates for equality between men and women and strives to defeat the divide between the two.
Common misinterpretations of what a feminist is:
1) A man hater
Feminists don’t inherently hate men, feminists choose to focus on encouraging other women to show strength and resilience and discouraging people to value one sex of another.
2) A woman deprived of sex
Feminists aren’t pushing women’s rights because they were turned down by a man, they push women’s rights because they want to be treated as equals to men.
3) A female
Though most feminists are female, there can be male feminists. A feminist is simply a person who advocates for women’s rights, that doesn’t mean they themselves are women.

The belief that women are more than men and that men should have absolutely no rights, along with a lot of other irrational and hateful "arguements". As oppose to meninism, feminism is widely accepted and man-hate is perfectly fine in todays society, all under the mask of an "equal rights" movement.

Get the Feminism mug.Intersectional feminism is feminism that is all inclusive. This kind of feminism really is the only true kind of feminism, but has to exist as a seperate entity to combat "white feminism", TERFS, and SWERFs, who try to exclude or ignore groups of women in their idea of equality. Intersectional feminism also includes individuals of non-binary genders.
person 1: FEMEN is a feminist group, right?
person 2: no, they're transphobic, islamophobic, and racist, to name a few.
person 1: and?
person 2: that means it's not intersectional feminism, and therefor doesn't even count as feminism.

Get the feminist mug.Term used to insult Eminem for being an arogant punk who talks big but has nothing to back up his diminishing manhood. The reason why the pants are so baggy, and the grabing at shows is not to conceal a weapon but to adjust that which he desperately lacks.
Feminem was never all that talented from day one; if he could make it out of poverty, then why donsn't everybody just try and do the same thing... lol, o ya he wrote a song about that too didn't he.
