A word made to accelerate the rights of women over men, commonly used in the early 20th century to equalize gender opportunities, such as voting and work rights.

Commonly confused with Gender Equality.
Correct usage: "Man, women cant work at McDonalds anymore. We need some feminism here so that women can have the same rights as men!"

Feminism runs on double standards and hypocrisy that work in a female's favor, and pointing out how the same double standards and hypocrisy that work in their favor are somehow working in a male's favor.
A female gets to say something like fuck you to anybody anywhere without anything bad happening to her. This is freedom and power males have never had, and females are still claiming they are/have always been the sex in need of liberating. Feminism is a selective way of thinking, males don't have a male version of a feminist for males.

A movement that aims for both genders to be equal. The common misconception is that it is a group of women who think that they are better than men (see misandrist). Feminism is recognising that men do have their own problems, specific to their gender, and so do women. Feminism is recognising that men get raped as well as women. Feminism is recognising the fact that women do get paid less than men and that this is wrong. Feminism is allowing boys to wear dresses if they want to and allowing girls to where pants. Feminism is accepting others as equals for who they are.
Just because it's called FEMinism, doesn't mean that it's just about girls. It's about everyone. Just like the phrase man kind includes women too.
I need feminism because I believe that everyone should feel safe when being themselves in public.
