1. the advocation of social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men.
2. an organized movement for the attainment of such rights for women.
A response to sexism, which is also known as an institutional barrier within a society that systematically prohibits women from gaining equal status to men.
While humanism may be the equal rights for both men and women, feminism is also significant because women have been historically and cross-culturally subject to being of lesser status than men. Because patriarchy is such a prevalent form of social organization, and because by its very definition it relegates women as less than equal when compared to men, as long as patriarchy exists, feminism exists by necessity.
COMMON MYTHS:
1. Men can't be feminists.
FALSE. Both men and women can support equal rights for women.
2. All feminists are men-haters.
FALSE. Feminists do not necessarily hate men; in fact, most don't.
Feminism exists because women are systematically and institutionally prejudiced against; it is not the result of one person's or one generation's choices, but because society has set women up to equate to less from the start.

Feminism is a society of retarded fucks, who feel that if they make an ad about 5 year old girls saying "fuck you" to everyone, that their cause will be supported.
Statistics show that 98% of feminists look like fucking humpback whales.

Was valid years ago. But now, because the genders are equal(in the U.S.), it is a movement led by dumbfucks that think women are still oppressed. Often feminists complain about irrational fabricated issues. Also, in defense of feminism, feminists use biased, irrelevant research to "prove" their point.
Someone said, "feminism is believing in the social, political, and economical equality of all sexes and genders", but they were a fucking retard. Feminism is actually the advocacy for women's rights, which is why it's fucking retarded. Because women have equal rights.

A social movement that was first started to get women the equal rights.
Nowadays it is easily misunderstood. Feminism is about equality.
Feminism is about breaking the double standards of gender and sex. It's about how we treat men as much as it is about the treatment of women. But people often forget that.
When a man stays home with his child he is being a very good dad but when a woman does the same it is just how it should be. The wife often gets the children if she gets divorced and this is somehow the deafult.
Men have four times more likely to commit suicide than women. Boys are told to bottle up their feelings. Women are expected to and stereotyped as feeling creatures. Double standards
All feminists are not the same. It is a big movement that has different sides. Some of the "feminism" seems to be about only cis women's rights but that doesn't mean that all feminism is.
No real feminist is a terf
