The definition of Feminism is "Belief in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes."
Most people wrongly define feminism as what radical women do, which has to do with personal opinion, not Feminism. Many people don't seem to understand, the idea that women are superior conflicts the definition of feminism just as much as men being superior. The idea is that someone isn't better than someone just because of their reproductive organs.
Someone being a feminist does not mean they hate someone just because they are male. As I said earlier, that idea actually conflicts the definition.
So instead of everyone having ignorant misconceptions of what a feminist is, why don't you actually look the definition up in the dictionary. And stop saying all feminists are radical men haters. (And also, not all feminists are represented by or support NOW)

A feminist can be a man or a woman and it is the opposite of misogynist. Feminism has nothing to do with hating men (which is ridiculous) or being a lesbian (which is fine). It is accepting yourself and being strong in a male dominated society, supporting equal rights, pro choice, overall being proud to be a woman or supporting women who believe this.
I'm tired of all these deodorized tampons created by male dominated corporations. I don't my cunt to smell like flowers, I want my cunt to smell like fish!

Get the feminist mug.
A woman who believes she deserves respect from everyone and should not be treated different based on gender or, if you think about it, the fact that she can make the world a better place. (you guys aren't making the babies am i correct?)
A common misconseption is that all feminists hate men, don't shave and are lesbian. That is very false. Feminism is about loving who you are as a woman, it almost has nothing to do with men. I believe that for that exact reason guys felt excluded and decided to make a joke out of it.

Feminist:"Sexist jokes arn't funny... Why do you think its cool to insult women. Would you say that to your mom?"
Sexist Guy:"Oh go shave your legs and stop kissing girls"
Feminist:"Um... I shave my legs. And my boyfriends right over there. Loser."

People who pretend to be for the equality between men and women when in actuality, many of them are bigots and hate men. Generally, they can be identified by their big goofy non prescription glasses, dyed hair, a meaningless word salad of fancy sound words,plaid shirt, piercings, and their ability to whine and complain about inanimate objects ( AC compressors) being sexist.

Contrary to popular belief, the term feminist describes someone (of any gender) who wants equal rights between genders. True feminists are NOT all a bunch of man-bashing, hairy women who "just need to get laid", who only want men to be subservient to get special privileges for women.
The feminist ideology calls for EQUAL RIGHTS between genders, not the oppression of men. However, many people still seem to take a statement like this: "We want equality between the sexes, we want to be treated as people and valued just as much as men, and we want a quality of life that does not leave us entirely dependant upon men," and turn it into something like this: "We want men to pay for oppressing us for all of history, so we're gonna take away all their rights and force them to stay at home with the kids all day watching Oprah and the Oxygen network. Oh, and we want to rid the world of porn, strippers, shaving products, and makeup."
It is still possible for someone, such as a porn-lovin', makeup-wearing, clean-shaven woman to call herself a feminist. Feminism does NOT call for the elimination of gender roles, merely equality and flexibility between them.

Correct usage: "Of course I want equal rights, I'm a feminist."
Incorrect usage: "What?!? That hot chick over there says she's a feminist? Yeah right."
