Definition of Feminism

The word "feminist" has gotten a really bad reputation in the last decade. Traditionalist men have used the word to describe what they deem to be 'radical' women. AKA, women who fight them on their own grounds. Women who they feel threatened by. Hilary Clinton is such a woman, as is Margaret Thatcher and Gloria Steinem. Though some women are on more zealous in their political movements, this doesn't change the definition of feminism, which Merriam-Webster states as:


Feminist: Function: noun Date: 1895
1 : the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes
2 : organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests


How is equality a bad thing? Women STILL get paid less than men, for doing the same jobs! What the hell makes us less worthy of an equal share of everything? These women and more are simply demanding to be treated as an equal, not an antiquated view of the cute little wife with the sexy gams, but no real smarts. A woman is capable of doing anything a man can do and more, because I'd love to see a man have a baby. Men are not superior, they are equal. It is not a bad thing for women to believe this and I think they all should, because they are worth it.
