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 think so. gerald_duck and I had an afternoon's argument about whether the meaning had shifted, and left it differing, so I'm trying not to assume it either way when arguing related things at the moment :(
