[jack]

Feminism means:

"Belief in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes." (The dictionary definiton.)
People who think women are still mostly opressed, who most people think are loonies.

"It means the first. feminist, on the other hand, is usually the second."
"You can't spell oppressed! And there are ways in which women are still oppressed. And indeed men are also constrained by gender stereotypes. Woman's hour this morning was talking about the patriachy being a cause of men's shorter life expectancy"

I need to rephrase the second, perhaps.

I don't know if it's the sort of noun that admits an "a", nor what that's called, but I think it means than we shouldn't make fun of women or men for not being married, nor for playing violent sports, nor for flower-arranging, and so on.
