I find way too often that people misunderstand what feminism is about. There are so many people out there who are against feminism because they think feminists believe in women being superior to men.
Well, I've decided to post some definitions of feminism to show that it's not true! Feminism is about equality between men and women. Anybody who believes in women being superior to men is not a feminist - it's something else and I agree on being against that.
Please have a look at the definitions below:
Feminism: the belief that women should be allowed the same rights, power, and opportunities as men and be treated in the same way, or the set of activities intended to achieve this state.
- Cambridge Dictionaries Online
Feminism: The advocacy of women’s rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes.
- Oxford Dictionaries
Feminism: Feminism is a collection of movements and ideologies aimed at defining, establishing, and defending equal political, economic, cultural, and social rights for women. This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment. A feminist advocates or supports the rights and equality of women.
- Wikipedia
Feminism:
1. a doctrine advocating social, political, and economic rights for women equal to those of men.
2. a movement for the attainment of such rights.
