Its high time we corrected the misconception and myth of feminist and feminism. This is potentially crucial and imperative. So many people have wrong perception about these terms. So many people found them extremely perplexing. People have been deceived by the terms "Feminist" and "Feminism" because they don't comprehend the concept. Please men, feminists don't hate men. So many women see feminism as stubbornness. Being crude is not feminism.
Lesbianism and prostitution are not feminism. Feminism does not mean the rise of women and the fall of men. Feminism does not mean dislike or hatred for men. Feminism does not mean women should be dependent on men for their survival. Feminism does not mean women should stay at home to be paid monthly stipends by their husbands. Feminism has absolutely nothing to do with putting down men or boys in order to elevate the status of women and girls. Feminism does not mean women are powerful while men are powerless.

Feminism doesn't mean women should not override their men. The word " Feminism" is a noun. It means the believe and aim that women should have the same rights and opportunities as men and the struggle to achieve this aim. Then, the word "Feminist" is also a noun. A feminist is an activist who supports the idea that women should have equal rights and opportunities as their male counterparts. You ask whether a woman should be paid the same wages as man when she does the same work? To this, there can be the same quantity and quality of work under the same conditions as a man. Simple, justice requires that she should be paid the same wages. To deny her this is to deny her justice.

If you objected strongly women being paid less than men for doing the same job, you are probably a feminist. If you believe that women should have the same political, social and economic rights as men, you are a feminist. It has absolutely nothing to do with degrading men to upgrading women. The word "Feminist" comes from "Feminism," which originally meant simply "Being Feminine." Or being a woman but gained the meaning advocacy of women's rights in the late 1800s. There is a difference between a feminist and a misandrist.

Feminism is a good thing. Some people who think they are feminist are bordering on misandrists. And that's what gave feminism a negative name. You are not a feminist if you put down men while bringing up women. People who hate the feminist movement because it puts down men don't hate feminist. They hate misandry. Please, don't have a bad look on feminists. So many woman see feminism as to challenge their husbands, that's not feminism. Dear men, when you batter your wife and she challenges you, don't blame it on feminism, blame it on your bad attitude. When you as a man tried to diminish the worth of your wife by infringing on her rights and she tries to stood on her ground, don't blame on feminism, blame it on your wickedness towards her. Dear women, if you are a dependent on your husband or boyfriend, you are not a feminist.

Feminism means to be proud of femininity. Feminism means liberalism applied to women. Synonymously, it also means, the women's movement, women's liberation, female emancipation and women's rights. Feminism is the advocacy of women's right on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men. Feminism does not mean women should depend on their bodies for survival. Feminism does not mean women against men. Feminism does mean war against men. It means you believe in equality. It's not a dirty word. Feminism means fighting for the rights of women with her, to empower her to reach her full potential in all aspects of life. Feminism simply means clamoring for equal education, social, political and financial opportunities for the female gender. It's a unique way of saying women are human beings too and should not be envisaged as inferior and second-class citizens.

I dont think Man can allow 100% equality. I dont see it happening. Man is an Animal, and the male is the alpha. Am not against feminism in fact I will love to see that happen, but I dont think it will.
