Feminism is basically a woman who wants to be treated equally. It is yet another label that society has come up with to through out at people.

To be a feminist you just have to believe that we have the right to be treated equally. It is not a huge women against men rally that is going on. Rather women sticking up for themselves and putting up with crap.

Feminism's come from all walks of life, all colors, all religions, and have more then just women rights on our minds.

So many women have fought in the past for women to be treated equally and all we are doing is embracing it.

We can do everything that a man can do plus some. We have the desire to be treated as fairly as possible and that is about it.

Nothing extreme although of course there are some extreme people that you may see, but that is the case for everything.

I don't believe that it is every O.K. for a man to feel superior to a woman. We are all just people and we should all be treated as equals. No one is better then anyone else.

So is there anything wrong with that? So many men poke fun at feminist. I think that is just their own insecurities.
