NOT A HOT TAKE THIS IS NORMAL INFO THAT EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW
feminism is equality. when i see someone whether it be a man or woman in a comment section say 'i'm not a feminist i'm an equalist' etc it genuinely annoys me so much. like FEMINISM is and was always the fight for equality! never trying to put down men, just trying to up women in society. and in my class yesterday (english so ofc it gets political) a boy in my class said 'i don't know why it's called feminism and not something like equalism' like SORRY? it wasn't men fighting for their rights, it was women. so of course it would be called FEMINISM because it was FEMALES fighting for their rights that men have always had. i hate people uneducated about what feminism is. the DICTIONARY DEFINITION OF FEMINISM IS a range of social and political movements and ideologies aimed at defining, establishing, and achieving equal political, economic, personal, and social rights for women. It advocates for gender equality, seeking to eliminate sexism, discrimination, and patriarchal structures that oppress women and girls. NEVER here does it say it puts down men. if you want equal rights YOU my friend are a feminist. theres no inbetween between feminism and misogyny.
