Urban Dictionary’s definitions of ‘feminism’ are so wrong they are hilarious
Feminism: ‘A movement of whiny bitches’
One will usually end up on Urban Dictionary in search of insight on the latest acronym or slang everyone is using, like “smh” or “lit.” The site lets users submit their own definitions for words and through upvotes and downvotes the top result will usually give you what you’re looking for.
Let’s take the word ‘feminism’ for example. The top result defines feminism as:
The belief that women are and should be treated as potential intellectual equals and social equals to men. These people can be either male or female human beings, although the ideology is commonly (and perhaps falsely) associated mainly with women.
The basic idea of Feminism revolves around the principle that just because human bodies are designed to perform certain procreative functions, biological elements need not dictate intellectual and social functions, capabilities, and rights.
Feminism also, by its nature, embraces the belief that all people are entitled to freedom and liberty within reason — including equal civil rights — and that discrimination should not be made based on gender, sexual orientation, skin color, ethnicity, religion, culture, or lifestyle.
Feminists — and all persons interested in civil equality and intellectuality–are dedicated to fighting the ignorance that says people are controlled by and limited to their biology.
Not bad. Most people would read that and be satisfied that they now know all about feminism!
But the real gems lay past that top result — where all the sexist, misogynistic and just plain wrong submissions take a back seat.
So here they are. The best worst Urban Dictionary definitions of feminism. Prepare yourself.
