Feminism is the theory of the political, economic and social equality of all sexes. Sexes and gender are used interchangeably. Sexes in regards to gender and not sexual sex.

Feminism means that women shall have at least as much to say as men about everything of human affairs (1)
including and especially in the meaning, purpose and activities of their own lives.

Feminism means the collective empowerment of women. And such collective empowerment cannot be accomplished without the eradication of racism, colonialism and Neo-colonialism. (2)
Women cannot achieve such collective empowerment without;
-economic independence from men
-full and gainful and meaningful employment, and the education and training required for it
-and freedom from poverty.

It also requires that women have control over their own bodies -(3)
And all of the decisions affecting their reproductive capabilities, including full access to choices concerning contraception, abortion, child birth and pre and post natal care. Quite important in my opinion.

Women cannot achieve collective empowerment unless they are free -(4)
from all the violence and sexual coercion. In addition to rape, sexual harassment, domestic violence and related acts, violence against women also includes war.

Women empowerment cannot be achieved unless and until women and men have absolute control over their own sexuality (5)
the inalienable right to chose their own sexual and loving partners, as long as this is between two consenting adults, free from censure, reprisal or any other form of discrimination. And both boys and girls must have access to a full curriculum of sex education free from any (6)
fear and with the fullest scientific accuracy and disclosure.

Feminism accepts the fluidity of gender and the right of people to pursue transgender identities and practices in accord with their propensities and wishes, free from all discrimination, censure and reprisal. (7)
Likewise, feminist purpose includes the use of pronouns other than s/he to indicate a non-specific gender designation.

Feminism is the complicated enterprise of achieving equality between women, and men and among other people. Feminism is about the elimination of all forms (8)
of hierarchy and all systems for domination. Itโ€™s about honoring the preciousness of all life๐Ÿ™Šโค๏ธ

For these reasons; as defined here, requires a radical reconstruction of human society.
