A movement that aims for both genders to be equal. The common misconception is that it is a group of women who think that they are better than men (see misandrist). Feminism is recognising that men do have their own problems, specific to their gender, and so do women. Feminism is recognising that men get raped as well as women. Feminism is recognising the fact that women do get paid less than men and that this is wrong. Feminism is allowing boys to wear dresses if they want to and allowing girls to where pants. Feminism is accepting others as equals for who they are.
Just because it's called FEMinism, doesn't mean that it's just about girls. It's about everyone. Just like the phrase man kind includes women too.

Someone who believes that both genders should be equal. That's it. Feminists do not think they are better than men. That is a misandrist. Feminists believe that men and women have their own obstacles, some that are limited to gender. For example, it is a common misconception that guys cannot be raped. They can. It is also recognising the fact that women do get payed less because of their natural role in nature (pregnancy)which can often be interpretted as weakness. This is not right.
Feminists are men and women who believe that one shouldn't be judged by their gender and that everyone, regardless of their gender can be themselves, be safe and express their emotions and opinions as they please. Misandry is not a characteristic of a feminist. It is another branch of sexism which feminism is against. The lie that all feminists are women trying to oppress men needs to stop. A feminist is a believer that men are just as valuable as women in society and vice versa. Nothing more.
