A movement trying to liberate women across the world from oppression. Though people give it a lot of hate, it is here to help women get economical, political and social justice!
Though the corporate feminism has poisoned what feminism fights for and many pseudofeminists are hypocrites, it is still a necessary movement for women. Most feminists stand for rape prevention, domestic violence help and no sex trafficking and not girl power lipsticks and a female version of ghostbusters! The media will try to make us sound ridiculous so people don't take us seriously. It's propaganda!
Keep in mind, all good feminism is intersectional as hearing the voices of women of colour, poor women, disabled women etc is just as important!
Not like Other Girlsโข: Feminism has become a joke! #WomenAgainstFeminism
Feminist: Please tell that to the eleven-year-old who had to give birth to her rapist's baby and the sixteen-year-old who got sentenced to 61 years in prison for standing up to her sexual abuser.
Misogynist: Actually, men get raped toooooo! Women just hate men!
Feminist: *sighs*
Feminist: While, it is true that men get raped and male victims should be just as valid, most of these perpetrators are men. Women don't hate men as much as men hate women and men hate each other. And what's sad is that misogyny has seen women murdered, tortured and abused yet what men define as "women hating men" is #MenAreTrash tweets and internet trolls. These aren't comparable.

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!

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 โbitchโ or a โslutโ? 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: โHello 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?โ
Jane: โOf course fellow human being. Although, you donโt 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 donโt really have a whole lot of differences.โ
Joe: โOh, thatโs nice. Do you wanna hangout with me and my pet dog?โ
Jane: โSure!โ
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.
