Feminism is a broad subject with many valid definitions. Among them the most popular and widely accepted is that it is the radical notion:
"that women are in fact human beings with the same basic human rights and needs for self fullfillment as men."
A definition that might seem flat and dumb to the less educated masses who might not consider the short historic period this has been an accepted idea. (some are still arguing.)
There are many challenges yet to conquer for the modern feminist, you need only take a look at the other definitions offered at this very site to get a general feeling for the hassle and dicrimination a woman or man feminist might encounter daily.
Next time ignorant suckers bemoan the fact that they no longer have the legal responcibility of the woman they choose to mary, the fact that they no longer have to fear getting a girl pregnant each time they have sex and the fact that they can afford the newest wide screen tv because their significant other was able to chip in cause she's like getting payed soon to be eaqually at her job. Take a time to think about what feminism gave you for free while you was busy scratching your balls and feeling underprivileged.

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

The advocacy of women's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes.
True feminists treat men, women and gender non-conforming people as equal. They respect all people.
Anyone can be a feminist, regardless of gender.
“Some people ask: “Why the word feminist? Why not just say you are a believer in human rights, or something like that?” Because that would be dishonest. Feminism is, of course, part of human rights in general—but to choose to use the vague expression human rights is to deny the specific and particular problem of gender. It would be a way of pretending that it was not women who have, for centuries, been excluded. It would be a way of denying that the problem of gender targets women.”
― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
"Why do we need feminism?"
"Because there are still people telling women that their only role in life is to get married and have kids.”
"What's wrong with that?"
"Women should get to choose what they want to do in life. There is nothing wrong with getting married and having kids if that's what you want. There is something wrong with being forced into doing those things. Forcing people to do something is oppression."

There a lot of people that say that Feminism is the belief that women are better than men. This is not true. It is actually the belief that men and women are equal and should both be treated as people, not objects. The reason it is called Feminism is that when it first started, women weren't treated equally and treated as their husband's property. Often people think that when women (and men!) get angry at crude jokes, they are just being irrational. They have every right to be offended as it can be seen a very disgusting and rude.
Example 1
Girl: I am part of the Feminism movement
Guy: So you hate men
Girl: No, I just believe that men and women are equal
Example 2
Guy: Damn check out the ass on that *looking at pretty girl*
Girl: I'm a person, not an object
