I view feminism as the entry in the dictionary that Songbird found. I, too, think that the word has become somewhat "loaded" with people believing that feminists are all lesbians, hate families and are pro-abortion. Some may be, but it isn't all of us who are feminists.

I like to go a step further and promote a true partnership society where women's voices and "women's issues" (although I'm not sure why caring for the poor is a women's issue) receive equal attention to that of the masculine issues which seem to be business and power.
