Feminism, in the dictionary, is defined as "the advocacy of women's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes."

What does that actually mean? Women want equal rights. Plain and simple. What do modern-day feminists think it means?

They think it means parading through the streets topless, exposing their breasts not to protest anything specifically related to current women's struggles, but to protest anything from the Barbie-doll manufacturer Mattel to protesting Freemasons because they don't allow women.

There are radical feminists, such as the FEMEN group, which participates in topless protests against Vladimir Putin, or urinating and bleeding on the Islamic State flag. They've also shoved crucifixes into their anuses in public while in the Vatican Square to share their displeasure with the papal and the religion in general. How poetic and brave.

Some feminists oppose other things that make no complete sense. One french feminist, Luce Irigaray, opposed the equation E = mc^2 because it was sexist by giving "privileges to the speed of light over other speeds that are vitally necessary to us."

Lately, some feminists are upset that more black women aren't being sexually harassed.

Extreme and radical feminism was all the rage in the 1960's. Valerie Solanas wanted to exterminate all the men on Earth, with her society of feminists SCUM Manifesto. Their principal aim was to “overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation, and destroy the male sex.” Some women still believe that men are what's wrong with the world and we should kill them off, which is psychotic.

Modern feminism, however, is a trend right now. Shirts boasting "Girl Power!" and "Everyone should be a feminist" are a cute fashion statement, and women are more proud than ever to be women, with their feminism-power fists and automatic "is it because I'm a woman?" crutch.

However, it's becoming too extreme and not following the intentions of real feminists, like the Suffragettes, Gloria Steinem, Yoko Ono, Angela Davis, and Malala Yousafzai. Those women wanted to see progress. They wanted voting rights, equal pay, and equal treatment, and let the people know without making fools of themselves.

I'm not anti-women. I'm not anti-feminism. I'm anti-stupidity.

Feminism can be over the top, with protestors wearing knitted-hats in the shape of a giant clitoris on their head to inform government, specifically the men, that a woman's body is her own, and she makes her own decisions. There's a better way to voice that than to wear this.

Women that become upset and "shaking with rage" when a man holds a door open for them or "mansplains" are ridiculous and a little pathetic.

Women want equality but don't want to be treated like men. Women want equal pay and equal opportunity, but don't want to do the same work. There are those who choose to fight and they deserve the equal treatment, but the ones that complain about everything just need to stop and bitch about it elsewhere.

I am happy to see women progressing in the job field, women in other countries being given opportunities they never had before and seeing women get the equal treatment they deserve.

I don't think crying, whining, and being so full of rage every time something bothers you or doesn't go your way is a good way to fix things. Protesting and running around topless and screaming obscenities at men may be fun but it doesn't solve anything. It may seem like that's what it's come down to, but there are other ways to be treated equally.

Again, I love women. I am proud to be a woman and it's amazing to see the progress we've all made. But I will not call myself a feminist. I am a proud woman. I am a woman. And I am here for the future of women.
