Feminism is a word that has done a complete about-face in it’s history as a word, which has not been long. Originated in the era of the sixties when there was a general explosion culturally in music, drug-taking, awareness of ecology, questioning of authority, and rebelling against anything that was middle-class, capitalistic, white-male dominated and anything considered to hinder personal expressions of freedom.
Women at this time fought not for very long, for the right to not be portrayed in media as sexual objects, and not to be seen only as semen receptacles for men. They wanted to be taken seriously and not judged by what they looked like, but wanted culture to embrace women of all ages as they were, not what men wanted them to be, i.e. Barbie doll obedient blonde brainless bodies.
Unfortunately, the male-dominated media quickly established the potential for this trend to cut in to market forces which used female bodies/images to sell things.
So, the media really dug it’s heels in, playing on women’s most vulnerable insecurities, perpetuating myths about feminists being sad bra-burning butt-ugly, dykes, and after a time women, rather than carry on fighting and being seen as the media-defined feminist, just decided it’s easier to give in. In the early seventies, one TV program which started the ball rolling down this brainwashing exercise was “Charlies Angels” – oh girls yes, you can fight off murderers and survive extraordinary car-chases with not one hair out of place or any makeup smudged…AND have a flat stomach 24/7/365!! Hooray! The way women gave in though to media’s pressure on feminists, in the way women are very good at, is to go into denial about the whole issue, and accept the media hype that true feminism is really about validating yourself through what you look like and what men (and other women) think of your appearance. Whole industries thrive on this factor, cosmetic surgery, fashion, diet foods, psychotherapy, make-up, blah blah.
Women today are not only accepting this new definition, they are embracing it one hundred percent, emulating the likes of the original Barbie wannabe, Pammy A, Victoria Silvstedt etc (there are now just too fuckin many to mention). They are also bandying about the psychobabble term “body-image issues” accusing each other of bowing to media pressure, when in fact it’s no wonder that most women DO have issues around body-image. This is just another way of getting women to compete with each other and “keep them down”. Vast amounts of energy and money are spent on “shopping til you drop”, enhancing or re-defining bits of their bodies that don’t quite measure up to whoever or whatever the media is defining as “perfection”, learning how to lap-dance for their man, and this is all called “empowerment”, freedom and oh such fun! Really, it’s just another form of sexual slavery. Side-note: it is proven than women still earn less than men so where do they get the money? One interesting spin-off of this is that the BigBrother contestant Nadia (UK), who is a trans-sexual, paid for her boob job by being a prostitute. No one batted an eye-lid here about this. Perhaps it’s because she did it as a man, not a woman. Hmmm.
So to summarise, feminism originally meant freedom from being bound by male-dominated rules of sexual objectification, but today means just the opposite. To get anywhere as a woman, all along it’s been the same old story, it’s just been re-packaged and sold back to women where they are now not only the product, but the consumer. Wake up ladies.
OK I'll spend a fortune looking like your ultimate whore, but don't expect it for free....in fact, expect it to be very expensive. Alright? Cool.

The absolutely inane idea that gender should *not* be a determining factor in allocating rights, responsibilities, or basic human decency to one another. It is so named not because its proponents believe women to be superior to men and non-binary persons---which certain websites might lead you to believe---but because their goal is to leave men at their existing social level, and elevate women to the same level.
Louder for the people in the back: Feminism wants to leave men WHERE THEY ARE and bring women UP TO THAT LEVEL TOO.

The long running joke by John Oliver, creator of Last Week Tonight, a comedy news show on HBO. To set up the joke, he talks about a stereotypical man's job or position. Then he finally reveals that he was talking about a female. He continues to judge the viewer for their closed-mindedness before stating a hashtag relating to what he was talking about originally and #Feminism
Oh, you thought that was a male doctor? Fuck you, its 2017, #Feminism

there are 2 types of feminists.
1.) the type that gets offended over everything and is essentially being sexist against males
2.) the type that just wants equality. They just want people to know that girls don’t always have to be helpless little bitches
•feminism •
Type 1: “all guys are rapists”
Type 2: sally didn’t ask tod (her bf) to open the jar because she knew she could do it herself and she knew she wasn’t a helpless little bitch

It is a woman who wants to be equal to men. It is not a woman who disrespects a mans gender but simply wants to be herd. A woman who wants to have their independence from a man and wants other women to do the same, it is a way to empower most women who have been disrespected by a man cause of their gender. It is someone who stands out and say i will be independent and i do not need a man to do everything for me cause i am powerful.
I support feminism because it is a good cause .

Often a woman (sometimes a man) the advocates for woman's rights. Some are people who think their a feminist and believe in equality but those people are not feminist's the are people who want equality. feminism is for woman's rights only they want to get rid of the (non existent) wage gap. Most of their claims have been proven false by people who are actually qualified to do so. the EXTREME feminism is where they literally hate men. ( and normal feminists know this, and cannot deny it) though this has ruined feminism (by their own fault) but when the extreme feminists talk to people in actual need, like in the middle east they are VERY condescending; "figure out how not to be raped yourself! we deal with are own problems here in the west!" When a decent person would actually try yo resolve the problem.
(by the way no offense to any feminists but if you are like how I described an extreme feminist then you can go drink a nice glass of water and look at how men see it alright? Okay thank you...)
normal human: " Yeah I like the thought of equality."
feminist: "I mean I'm the same way. equality should just be... well there."
extreme feminist: "Fuck MEN! especially the WHITE ONES! WE SHOULD PUT THEM IN CONCENTRATION CAMPS OR JUST KILL THEM OF! FUCK IT JUST GO INTO THE STREET AND START SHOOT'IN 'EM!"
normal human: " Well then..."
feminism: "a group of woman advocating for WOMAN's rights."
