Feminist

A feminist is an adherent to feminism. In recent years many feminists have argued that, because there are so many different and mutually exclusive philosophies and philosophers that are called feminist, it is more appropriate to speak of feminisms (plural) than feminism (singular) [1] For this reason it is difficult, if not impossible, to state any belief universally held by all feminists.
However, in general, feminists believe that in societies that exist today, women are less valued than men and that women should not be less valued than men (how to achieve this and whether or not women should be more valued than men are both subjects of debate among feminists).
