You know, like the conservative block.
It does a lot for women, and that's the mission of Feminism.
Feminism definition, from our OP:
"The advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of equality to men"
My definition is:
"The advocacy of women's rights and women's empowerment on the grounds of equality to men"
I'm of the camp that movements should be defined by their actions, and that the dictionary, in the case of movements, is an ideal that may not reflect the truth. Simply saying that a movement does things because its definition says so isn't sufficient.
