Feminism facts?

This is what I found out:

Feminism movement for the political, social, and educational equality of women with men

“Feminists are not lesbians”

there are lesbian feminists.. as well as homosexual feminists…

ok, thanks everyone for your answers! I guess that makes ME a feminist? Could someone go into more detail before I choose?

lol, it really is simple… feminists believe in equality… now there’s different levels of feminism, and all sorts of feminist perspectives (this really is a rather large subject they have entire classes devoted to it…), but bottom line really is about equality…

Feminism is a diverse collection of social theories, political movements, and moral philosophies. Some versions are critical of past and present social relations. Many focus on analyzing what they believe to be social constructions of gender and sexuality. Many focus on studying gender inequality and promoting women’s rights, interests, and issues.

Feminist theory aims to understand the nature of gender inequality and focuses on gender politics, power relations and sexuality. Feminism is also based on experiences of gender roles and relations. Feminist political activism commonly campaign on issues such as reproductive rights, violence within a domestic partnership, maternity leave, equal pay, sexual harassment, discrimination, and sexual violence. Themes explored in feminism include patriarchy, stereotyping, objectification, sexual objectification, and oppression.

Modern feminist theory has been criticized as being predominantly, but not exclusively, associated with Western middle-class academia. Feminist activism, however, is a grass-roots movement that seeks to cross boundaries based on social class, race, culture, and religion. It is culturally specific and addresses issues relevant to the women of that society: for example female circumcision in Sudan, or the glass ceiling in developed economies. Some issues, such as rape, incest, and mothering, are universal.
