Feminism is a word that means equal rights for women. Technically, most feminists should actually be called humanists. I'll ignore that since it was, and to some extent still is an important movement. Way back in the day, life was pretty damn bad for women everywhere. No vote, no driving, you know about that stuff anyway. Eventually, much of the inequality dissappeared, thanks to the hard wark of early feminism. Sadly some still persist to this day. Fortunately, most people accept that such social changes are bound to be gradual, and eventually, true equality will exist. This is the type of world that everyone should strive to live in, not just feminists. But alas, in more recent times, there has been a growing movement of "militant feminism". This is alternatively known as female chauvenism, and feminazism. These people often demand MORE rights than men have, usually by arguing that they are superior to men and blame men for everything. Yes men started wars. Are you saying that women wouldn't have? Hilary Clinton supported the Iraq war. Margeret Thatcher sent troops to the Falklands. To propagate such a view on men is a sexist view you chauvenist pig-bitch. Such a view is not part of feminism, or at least it's original usage of the word. These people are betraying the women who fought for their rights. Possibly the worst part about them is that they are either the prevalent female authors and commenters for feminism on urban dictionary, or that these women are denying the existence female sexism that has taken seed among the femism movement. I've talked to these people. In real life. Not on the net. They DO exist.
Feminist of the militant variety(Yes, she actually said this):"It's not fair to generalise women, men allways do that" and "men shouldn't have any say in abortion"
Me:"I'd say TITS OR GTFO, but you're pretty damn fuck-fugly)
Feminism gets a bad name because of these asshats

The feminist movement was something that occurred really throughout the 20th century. Starting in 1920 when wen gained the right to vote and again in the 1980's when women really started to break away from their traditional roles in western society.
These days feminism is being rejected by many young women. This is because these days young girls feel they have just as much opportunity to make a living as men.
Now days the connotation of feminism has changed from the original denotation of the word. Now feminism has a new common meaning "believing women deserve special treatment" while this is NOT the actual dictionary definition of the word, it is what most people mean when they talk about feminism these days.
Consequently, many young women feel the need for change has past and with it the need to identify as a feminist.
The young women who still identify with feminism are on the more "radical" side of the scale and feel women are still not equal and want even more benefits given on top if the affirmative action already provided for being a women in western society (more scholarship opportunities, more access to government assisted living, and government subsidies for owning their own business). These are the radical women who have given feminism a bad name.

Example of the new connotation of a feminism:
"Goddamn did you hear that bitch talking about how employers should have to pay for their female employees' birth control and pregnancy tests?!"
"Yea man! That chick's gotta be a feminist."

In the USA, a movement created by the government to turn non-taxable labor (raising children) into taxed labor thus stealing more money from an ignorant population of tax slaves. Women foolishly believe this has some aim of helping women when it has only led to miserable working women buried in student loan debt who aren't even free to raise their own children. Hitler enacted free child are right away too..not to help women but to start the indoctrination of children even earlier. This movement has basically destroyed the family unit in the USA leaving unwed births at more than 50%.
Looking back on her life choices and down the barrel of 100k in school loans the professional woman now wonders why if feminism was about choices and equality....why was being a stay at home mother never a choice...

A disgrace to my gender
It's a bunch of woman who think they deserve special treatment because they can push a baby out of their pussy.

The ideology of radical, fascist women who believe that the true advancement of the women's cause will only be fully realized when they achieve the destruction of the male kind, and the consumption of their bloody carcasses. The feminists retain complete control of their bodies, often ripping out screaming fetuses days before birth, later burning them before effigies of their main trinity of goddesses: Susan B. Anthony, Simone de Beauvoir, and Alison Bechdel. Others protest the "oppression" of the male kind through castration of unwitting sexual partners. Many feminists are reported to engage in spontaneous blood-crazed lesbian orgies at the sight of the mass burnings of male genitalia and bra-toting Victoria's Secret models (symbols of the "oppression"). Hordes of these "equality warriors" are known to roam the streets of off-beat neighborhoods, ganging up on Christian children, and drinking their blood whilst chanting from their bible, "The Feminine Mystique". They will tell you that they only desire equality, or "egalitarianism" and use liberal trickery (like the oft debunked "pay gap"), but be warned, they will kill any man it takes to get what they seek: a world where men not subject to mass genocide are herded into farms and harvested for their sperm.
Man: That's okay, I'll take care of the check.
Feminist: YOU CHAUVINIST PIG. I AM A FREE AND INDEPENDENT WOMAN. YOU WILL DIE FOR YOUR OPPRESSION. CHIVALRY IS DEAD!
Proceeds to lunge at man and gnaw off his bloody member before holding it in the air triumphantly.
Feminist: Heterosexuality is the opiate of the masses! Die cis scum! Long live feminism!
