Feminism is a movement that supports (by women most of the times) gender equality.
By definition:
The belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. It is the theory of the political, economic and social equality of the sexes.
Sadly though for our generation, it has taken a new dissapointing turn. Feminism is not about saying women are better than men. Feminism is actually supposed to help men too. If you look at the exact definition it's about gender equality, not females being superiors to males.
What does that mean?
It means that feminism supports also men, not only women.
For example, gender equality is as well:
Men being able to express their feelings like girls are and not being called names or offensive things just because they are more emotional than others.
Yes, women should be treated the same way as men, but what you don't understand is that men should actually as well be treated equally as women.
Males and females should be equal but you have to accept that they are different.
Yet, sadly, only real feminists actually consider and accept this part of the definition.
What's the difference between the fake and the real feminist?
Real feminists believe in equality, they won't offend innocent men, they will not try to start a fight with every male around, they have respect towards themselves and others no matter what their gender is.
Fake feminists on the other side just plain hate men for whatever reason, they will provoke men non-stop even if they did nothing to them just because they have male body parts. Some women that do specific things against society's standards, identify themselves as feminists.
You think by not shaving your body hair you are a feminist?
You are not.
You think by not allowing a man pay on a date you are a feminist?
You are not.
You think by hating men for who they are and what they have succeed in their life you are a feminist?
You are not.
You think that by hating male body parts you are a feminist?
You are not.
You think that by cutting your hair short and wear baggy clothes you are a feminist?
You.Are.Not.
If you want to do one or all of these things, it's your personal choice. But don't hide behind feminism. No one ever said that feminists are supposed to look or behave a specific way.
Learn the difference.
This is feminism.
This is a strong, independent, revolutionary woman that proved in a world of men that she can be an equally good physician.
She didn't get naked.
She didn't offend or lowered men in other's people's eyes so she could be 'better' than them.
She didn't hate men.
She was actually a big admirer of some others great male physicians.
She was a happily married woman that respected her children and husband.
She didn't stopped being a woman just because she wanted to prove herself as a scientist to others,she had a family.
She is a real feminist.
This isn't feminism.
These are some women that decided that by getting naked and writing offensive words towards powerful men on their bodies are feminists.
They are not.
These kind of movements give such a wrong name to a such a beautiful idea.
This isn't feminism.
