A political and cultural movement that seeks to further the rights of woman in society.
Feminism was why Christina found a job on a fishing trawler, and she proved she was as capable of going into work, bespite the possibility of dying, as any man, as long as she drowned her fears with alcohol .

The belief that women and men are equal, and the movement that has arisen to support that idea. Feminism can generally be divided into three periods in the United States: First Wave- 1800's-1920's. The passage of the 19th Ammendment is commonly seen as the culminating event of this phase. Second Wave- 1950's-1980's.This is often seen as the high point of the Women's Movement in the US. The failure of the Equal Rights Ammendment's passage is seen as the endpoint of this period. Third Wave- 1990's-present. Often seen as a more theoretically-driven phase, sometimes incorrectly referred to as post-feminism.
Thanks to feminism, women now have the right to vote, the right to control their own property and bodies, and the right to support themselves by working outside the home.

Just another ism to try and destroy the white mans world, because white women hate thier men, and dont want to be with or supported by them anymore. These kind of Women think they're goddesses in need of worship, this is why women seek men that deep down inside they deem lesser, like black men, because it makes them feel superior. Because we all know feminist have that kind of mind set.
just google white women, and all it comes up with is black men and white women interracial dateing, why are you women so keen on destroying white men? feminism

*Sigh* This is getting out of hand. Feminism is the idea that everyone is equal, plain and simple. Feminists are not 'ugly dykes' and are not 'the epitome of perfection'. Women who hate men are *not* feminists. Jeez, you all need to cool it.
Gloria Steinem was a feminist. Virginia Woolfe was a feminist. That chick at the bar who calls all men rapists was not a feminist.

A movement or social philosophy that advocates legal, social, and economic equality for women. Contrary to the beliefs of some misguided individuals, it derives no particular pleasure from the genital-related misfortunes of men, being rather preoccupied with such frivolous goals as getting paid the same goddamned money for doing the same goddamned work, not being forced to have babies, and not having to put up with shit from the entertainment, advertising and fashion industries that have a vested interest in making sure women hate their bodies.
"Feminism is a benevolent force that aids in providing the best opportunities for all members of society, and anyone who believes otherwise is a paranoid, reactionary fuckwit."
