The advocacy and valid belief that women deserve equal rights in the world, and that their rights should not be defined through their sex.
“Fighting for feminism is fighting for equality for all women, wether they are of color, or poor, or rich, or young or old.” As human beings, we all deserve rights equal to each other.

Movement that promotes the equality of not only man and women, but also the rights of every human independently of race, age, nationality, sexuality, religion.
Often confused by the empowerment of women and oppression of man.
Most people don't believe that feminism supports equality, seeing that the base of the movement's name is "female", feminism was created firstly to support the oppressed gender at the moment which were females but as years passed by, feminism started to support other oppressed groups such as homosexuals, transgendered, Muslim, Jews, etc..
Feminism also fights against gender roles, stereotypes, beauty standards and other problems commonly found in today's society.
Feminism means, in fact, equality.

noun
The belief in or theory of the social, economic, and political equality of the sexes.
Feminism does not only apply to the sexes, however. It also covers gender, sexuality, race, religion, etc.
Feminism addresses many issues, including, but not limited to; equal wages, the glass ceiling, violence against women, porn culture, and societal beauty standards.
Feminism is NOT misandry! Misandry is the male equivalent of misogyny. It is the belief that males are inferior, and therefore females superior.

The support of equal rights for women, no more, no less than the rights of men. But insane women have changed it into being sexist to men which is unfair and hypocritical. As a woman (only saying this so people know that I’m not some guy who thinks he knows about the female experience) I think that women are being too extreme.
Person A: As a feminist I believe that women are the superior gender.
Person B: That’s very hypocritical isn’t it? You’re using feminism as a shield to hide being sexist.
