A feminist is someone who believes in equal rights between men and women. There are many intricacies to the expression of feminism and being a feminist. Despite race, gender, sexual orientation, and such: Anyone can be a feminist.
However, just like anything else, people can ruin feminism for others by giving being a feminist a bad image. Some do this by slinging the term around to excuse unacceptable behavior, while others have coined the term as an insult. Don't be that person. Just live your life, and love.
Person 1: Did you know that Alex is a feminist?
Person 2: Nah, I can't believe that. What a loser. I didn't peg Alex as that type of person. Aren't feminists the scum of the earth?
Person 1: Well, that depends on who you're asking. But knowing Alex... Alex is kind, and just wants equality between men, women, and everyone inbetween.
Person 2: oh???
