Feminism Feminism is a movement that originally started in the 19th and early 20th century that advocated for women's rights. Now, true feminism is more commonly recognised as the advocacy for equal rights of the sexes: for both men and women. Unfortunately some so-called "radical feminists" have corrupted the world-view of what feminism really is, taking away the true meaning of what it is to be a feminist, some going so far as to claim that women deserve more rights than men, which is completely against the true essence of the word "feminism".

I support feminism, I believe that men and women deserve equal rights and have equal dignity

In Western society, feminism is an excuse for the shortcomings of women. Many feminists claim there is a pay wage gap between men and women, and that there is a glass ceiling that needs to be shattered. Neither of these exist in truth. In third world countries, where women are abused and not treated as equal to men, feminism is a legitimate belief that women need to be treated equal to men. It is mostly for equal education rights among other problems. Unlike the Western version, third world feminism is actually worth fighting for.

Man or woman of western society: I need feminism because the glass ceiling is a problem that needs to be solved. As well, the pay wage gap needs to be closed, and we need to stop rape culture, etc. Man or woman of a third world country: I need feminism because women should be treated as equals to men. Women need equal education rights as well as empowerment against abuse.

A movement created to promote equal rights of men and women alike, simply put. Many definitions try to degrade this notion by stating that it has backfired and turned into a reason for hating men. This is not the case. The reason people would think this is because in today's society many men are still raised on the notion that women are inferior and must be oppressed. They therefore promote hate against equal rights between men and women and try to degrade it in any way possible. Note that not all men are like this, but the majority are. There will always be sexist men. That is the unfortunate truth.

Feminism is a notion to equalize the fields and make people realize that men and women are equal in every way. Feminism does NOT support hate against men, it merely states that men are NOT SUPERIOR TO WOMEN. Get it in your goddamn heads, people.

I love that all the definitions are done by men. Yes, there is a group of women who see it as hate all men and bullshit like that but feminism is and always will be for equality between men and women. The reason that is called feminism is that it focuses on raising women's rights to the same as men. Equalism suggests lowering men's rights down to where women's are. That means that women are charged the same time for the same crime. Women shouldn't be allowed to abuse. It means that men should be able to come forward with sexual assault and not be shushed. It means equality all around. Don't be a sexist asshole and try to say that women are trying to say they are better, the people that are doing that aren't real feminists.

Feminism is actually good if you don't focus on the fake feminists who hate all men because they are men...
