    A feminist is someone who believes in equality in men and women. Like feminist protest because men get paid more than women. But lately feminist have been wanting women superiority.

    And a depressing shoujo ..idk I'll come back when I think of one

    feminist is a person who wants gender equality.

    ok anyway depressing shoujo:
    - hana to akuma (highly rec)
    - orange (i don’t like it but someone is bound to rec it so here)
    - koe no katachi (is a movie, but very sad)
    - hakuoki (anime, insanely sad. cried way too much)
    - hotarubi no mori e (movie ig)
    - koizora: setsunai koimonogatari
    - deep love
    - boku no hatsukoi wo kimi ni sasagu (heart condition, you get it)

    enjoy?

    I mostly agree with the above definition except for the wording of the last part. I think it’s more correct to say people who call for female superiority under the banner of feminism are perverting the movement and by definition are not actual feminists.

    Anywhos Koizora is a good one.

    We teach girls to shrink themselves
    To make themselves smaller
    We say to girls
    "You can have ambition
    But not too much
    You should aim to be successful
    But not too successful
    Otherwise you will threaten the man"
    Because I am female
    I am expected to aspire to marriage
    I am expected to make my life choices
    Always keeping in mind that
    Marriage is the most important
    Now marriage can be a source of
    Joy and love and mutual support
    But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage
    And we don't teach boys the same?
    We raise girls to each other as competitors
    Not for jobs or for accomplishments
    Which I think can be a good thing
    But for the attention of men
    We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings
    In the way that boys are
    Feminist: the person who believes in the social
    Political, and economic equality of the sexes

    According to me, a feminist is someone who wants women to have equal rights as men. They believe that women should be treated the same way men are and deserve equal opportunities. Although feminism focuses more on women's upliftment, it doesn't want to oppress men. (unlike the third wave feminists these days)

    A feminist is someone who takes action to stop sexism, sexist exploitation, and oppression.

    As you can see, every commenter offers a slightly different definition. This is because feminism is a political word, with no fixed meaning. The fight for its meaning is part of its existence.

    Many great feminists find the idea of "equality" disturbing, since it offers little more than assimilationism, trying to make women adopt the shitty features of masculinity. Personally I prefer to think of it as freedom from gender norms and social regulation through those norms.
