Feminism

Feminism refers to political, cultural, and economic movements seeking greater, equal, or, among a minority, superior rights and participation in society for women and girls. These rights and means of participation include legal protection and inclusion in politics, business, and scholarship, and recognition and building of women's cultures and power.


Some feminists argue that men cause and benefit from sexism; while others argue that all people are harmed by gender roles and therefore that feminism is for women and men.
Feminists are persons of either sex, or females only (in which case males may be profeminists), who believe in feminism.

In other words, Feminism are the theories in which concolidate the concept of female oppression.
