Help for my friend

I recently got this e-mail from one of my good friends, Amanda. If anyone out there would like to put in their input, please post it in the comments section of this post and I will forward the info on to her. Any and all replies would be appreciated. HOWEVER, please remember this is for a school project. I mention this because she told me that she is having trouble finding people to appropriately answer the questions posed. She asked her boyfriend the questions and she said his response included the words "fucking carpet-munching bull dykes". She can't use stuff like that. Keep it pc, people.

Hi!
I really need some help. For my Women's Studies class, I need to ask people the following:

1. What do you think feminism is?

2. Who do you think feminists are?

3. What do you base this on?

So...if you have a couple of minutes and want to help a friend or relative
in need, please give me your thoughts. I would appreciate it (and so will
my GPA). :)

Hope you are doing well - I'm swamped with homework!!

Amanda

Feminism is actually incorrectly named. They answer can be found simply with a trip to the American Heritage Dictionary.

fem·i·nine: Of or relating to women or girls. See Synonyms at female.

-ism suff: An attitude of prejudice against a given group: racism, sexism.

-ist suff. An adherent or advocate of a specified doctrine, theory, or school of thought: anarchist, feminist.

By the dictionary definition feminism is a prejudice against females, in reality feminism is actually a prejudice against the male of the species.
