What's on your mug?

Definition that does not mean man hating, women being superior to men or other bullshit people wrote here. If there are women acting that way, than that is misandry which is the same as misoginy. There are male And female feminists, anyone can be that. Feminism is about equality, respect, body positivity etc. So basically, it's common sense

Alan:"Man, until my grandma told me, i didn't know previous generations of women have suffered that much. I even heard that women still aren't equal now. She told me about feminism" Scarlett:" You should be lucky we STILL want equality instead of revenge

Feminism isn't just about improving the lives of women but also end not needed gender stereotypes. Real Feminism is still needed today. Feminists are a group of usually women that believe men are not born rapists, sexists, predators, or racist, but taught. We believe men can change and there is nothing wrong with the other gender. We strongly believe in don't let one apple ruin the whole orchard. To all the people who say feminism isn't needed today you are wrong. Feminism today is ending the sexist strict dress codes that schools enforce today. We don't use lies to shame the other gender but use true events to bring light of what people have done. We don't deprive children of a relationship with their father. We can do wrong. We know that. We also know everything a man does is not wrong. Men can do good things and that's okay. Fake feminists might call this toxic masculinity. If we had our way men wouldn't be treated like shit but with respect and as would women. We don't take Chivalry as a personal insult. We believe domestic violence can happen on both ends as does rape.

person: All feminists are sexist. Feminist: Oh really since when has feminism been sexist we're the ones trying to improve life on all ends!

A movement that is about in powering women and giving them equal right and helping men feel they can share there feelings without being less of a man. Although many people believe this word means hating men, it doesn’t, and if you use it to talk about hating men then you are a disgrace feminism.

Feminism is a strive for equality.

Feminism is a social/political movement and ideology that aims to achieve the political, economic, personal, and social equality of the sexes. It is also a sub category of Egalitarianism that focuses primarily on women's issues. There are many different types of feminists with different ideas and approaches on how to achieve equality between the sexes such as radical feminists, liberal feminists, eco feminists, etc. There is also a pervasive attitude that feminism is only for women which is just not true, anybody can choose to be a feminist regardless of gender.

Joan: In class today we talked about feminism and what the movement is about, did you know that in the US child marriage is still legal? Harriet: Yes! And in many states it is perfectly legal for police officers to have "sex" with people in their custody even though people in custody cannot consent. Joan: How horrifying! Feminism still has a lot of work left to do.

Ok, a lot of definitions on here are really defensive and sad. Who hurt you people? Feminism is just equal rights between men and women. How would you feel if your mother, sister, wife, or daughter was called a “bitch” or a “slut”? I hope you would feel horribly about it because that would be the normal human reaction to have. Jesus Christ you people are scary.

Joe: “Hello fellow human. Seeing as you are a female member of our shared species, I was wondering if you could explain to me what feminism is?” Jane: “Of course fellow human being. Although, you don’t have to be a woman in order to understand feminism. It is the belief that although we have a few differences between us, we can easily co-exist in equal standing because we are both humans and don’t really have a whole lot of differences.” Joe: “Oh, that’s nice. Do you wanna hangout with me and my pet dog?” Jane: “Sure!” And they lived happily ever after because at the end of the day, who cares about what our differences are when there is a dog that needs our attention.
