What it used to be: "the advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes."
What it is now: a way for (mostly) women, with radical ideologies, to express their hate on men. Feminists believe in "the patriarchy" (a male controlled society), which in fact, does not exist (and if it were to exist, women would still not be able to vote or do other basic things in first world countries.) Feminism used to matter in first world countries, but it is now irrelevant. There is no wage gap, and there is no bullshit like there used to be. However; feminism (the non-radical kind), is needed in third world countries. Third world countries need much more equality, and there is already enough evidence to suggest that.
TL;DR: feminism is supposed to be about equality of the sexes, but it is now about abolishing the non-existent "patriarchy".
Friend: "I'm a feminist!"
Me: "So you despise men and believe in the 'patriarchy'?"
Friend: "No...?"
Me: "Then you're not a feminist... thank the lord."
Feminism is about abolishing the non-existent patriarchy.

The belief that women and men are equal and neither should be deprived from basic human rights. It is called feminism because it is focusing on helping raise women to a higher status to become EQUAL with men. Although it is often confused and mixed in with misandry, it is in no way the same thing. Feminism has gotten more and more popular over the years as both men and women raise their voices to support feminine rights.
As a man that believes in feminism, Aaron marched alongside millions of people in a Womenβs March.

Basically if you're having trouble understanding all these other definitions with all these words.
Feminist is basically thinking that females should have the same right as guys. That's literally it.
"I support feminism."
"So.. you think that girls should have the same pay check equality, same rights, and ish like that? As guys do?"
"Exactly."

striving for equal rights for BOTH men and women. bringing awareness to BOTH issues and NOT saying one is better than the other, because that would be sexist.
why are women still told to go back to the kitchen? that is why we need feminism.
why are men still pressured to be "strong" and never to cry? this is why we need feminism.

Feminism is a one-sided, selective way of thinking.
Females have been raped and burned at the stake in the past, is that really worse than being boiled in oil or having your guts ripped out before being hanged, drawn and quartered, then finally beheaded? There is no shortage of ways males have thought of to torture other males before executing them.
Females have babies, most males do as much to raise them as their mothers. Still feminism doesn't look at life that way, or want anybody else to.

A movement that used to be meaningful but now there is no reason for it because everyone has the same rights now it should mean equality between both genders but the police are more likely to kill a man then a female and give a man a harder sentence then a women for the same crime
