Feminism is a social theory and political movement primarily informed and motivated by the experience of women. While generally providing a critique of social relations, many proponents of feminism also focus on analyzing gender inequality and the promotion of women's rights, interests, and issues.
Feminist theory aims to understand the nature of inequality and focuses on gender politics, power relations and sexuality. Feminist political activism campaigns on issues such as reproductive rights, domestic violence, maternity leave, equal pay, sexual harassment, discrimination and sexual violence. Themes explored in feminism include discrimination, stereotyping, objectification (especially sexual objectification), oppression and patriarchy.
The basis of feminist ideology is that rights, privilege, status and obligations should not be determined by gender.
Modern feminist theory has been extensively criticized as being predominantly, but not exclusively, associated with western middle class academia. Feminist activism, however, is a grass roots movement which crosses class and race boundaries. It is culturally specific and addresses the issues relevant to the women of that society, for example, genital mutilation in Sudan (see also: female circumcision), or the glass ceiling in North America. Some issues, such as rape, incest, mothering, are universal.

I recommend you do some research to see how equal pay affects not only women, but also families and men. Families lose a lot of money every year due to unequal pay and so do men.
Please stop working off of assumptions and learn more about the topic. Feminism benefits everyone.

Are guys just dumb? Like they flick someone off for no aparant reason and get killed during road rage? And they have "all" things screwed in their favor but still whine. Do they just like to be unhappy? . . . It's officially accepted that men get moer wages for the same work, they sill don't get paid for dong nothing, but when you find someone who gives "wages" for noting be sure to tell everyone.
Are you dumb? You make no sense? Sounds like you are talking about yourself!

you should do some research on what the life of a typical woman was like before the burning of the bras- the term is actually- WOMENS RIGHTS!! Its not about women wanting or gaining more than a man, its about EQUALITY! its about basic human rights! Women (male haters) want to have the same opportunities anyone else has available to them, I'd love you to provide some evidence to your allegations that women are always whining, im guessing you mean more than men.....

Most men generally still get paid more than their female counterparts, so I have to disagree with you.
I think women today have more to deal with than ever before, so we don't have things "in their favor". Now we are Women + Workers + Mothers + Lovers and any other job that needs to be done to keep life moving.
At least my grandmother only had to raise her family, not deal with the expectations that were heaped upon us with all things "in their favor".

The only women burning their bras were small breasted women. No DD sized woman would let hers hang for nothing. I don't know where you are but women do not make more money than men. You might want to recheck that one. Stop crying because you no longer hang the moon.

You are an embarassment to the male gender. You have just proven that most women are smarter than you are. Don't include the rest of us in your group of idiots.

How can we make you guys understand that not all of us want to burn our bras and go to war. Some of us actually appreciate being a woman/lady/mother/wife and appreciate being treated as such.
