I think feminism has been misunderstood most of the time.

The dictionary defines feminism as:
1. The doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men.
2. An organized movement for the attainment of such rights for women.
3. Feminine character.

That's not quite the same thing.

-Feminism is a lot to do with assertion of rights, beliefs, freedom from patriarchy, and among other things, fighting against stereotypes and discrimination.
- Feminism is not about male bashing.
- Not all feminists are women and not all women are feminist.
- There are male feminists too.
