Feminism, or femanist are generally independent women, who don't rely on men, both emotionally or financially.
You are way off the mark.professor We are all humans and its natural to want and need Love as primary motivation to be involved in a relationship but you are Narcissist who can't understand meaning of love. Anyway I am not a feminist...grin and I believe feminists are not cold robots with no heart and even feminist needs love ! grin

This is an outdated term, women simply demand and deserve the same rights as men in the workplace and in the world generally.

Does it really matter?

So many definitions to suit so many reasons why.

What is feminism’s point of origin, if it was, or has ever been recorded?

The human race has entrenched itself in labelling which is a way to define ourselves. I am this, I am that, well who the eff are you really. Just another little bit of space dust, living the dream of being associated with a label. Most labels are cheap but the masses love them.

If there was a referendum on the definition of feminism, what do you think the outcome would be?

Feminism & equality are 2 different things, although they are both fighting for the same cause.

...Linda sasour is one on the main spokes women for feminism and she promotes sharia law, so no I don’t agree with sharia law or Islamic oppression of women….
…I don’t want sharia law in western society, but feminists do…look up Gloria steinmen and her interview praising Muhammad….these are facts and you can find this information out by doing some digging…watch the interviews of Erin Pizzey and she will explain how feminism started and how quickly it became toxic

I've checked that link and she said that 'women are equally capable of violence ' but I couldn't find where she's praising Muhammed. (Will check later...). If she's prasing Muhammed who married 6 years old child Aisha, she is hypocrite scamm bag.devil Anyway, that doesn't provide proffe that all women are bad.grin

Having initially engaged with the British Women's Liberation Movement, Pizzey distanced herself along with others when she witnessed what she described as "irregular and disrespectful behaviour" towards the money donated by desperate women across the UK.:39 Pizzey confronted them over this behaviour,:45 which according to Pizzey included claiming that telephones were tapped and labelling people they did not like as MI5, police and CIA Informers or Agents.:39 She also was concerned about overhearing discussion of plans to bomb the London store Biba; she reported on this to the police after warning the people involved. Subsequently, Pizzey became aware that the police had the group and offices under surveillance.:43 Pizzey says that she and her fellow members of the Goldhawk Road group (named after the street Pizzey lived on) were seen as trouble, because they did not accept others' behaviours and views. Erin was told she was to be watched.:34
Pizzey set up a women's refuge in Belmont Terrace, Chiswick, London in 1971 where abused women "were offered tea, sympathy and a safe place to stay" for them and their children. She later opened a number of additional shelters, despite hostility from the authorities. She gained notoriety and publicity for setting up refuges by squatting, most notably in 1975 at the Palm Court Hotel in Richmond. The original refuge in Chiswick has since been rebranded as the charity "Refuge".
Pizzey's work was widely praised at the time. In 1975 MP Jack Ashley stated in the House of Commons that "The work of Mrs. Pizzey was pioneering work of the first order. It was she who first identified the problem, who first recognised the seriousness of the situation and who first did something practical by establishing the Chiswick aid centre. As a result of that magnificent pioneering work, the whole nation has now come to appreciate the significance of the problem". Even whilst being prosecuted by local authorities (Simmons v. Pizzey) and appealing matters to The House of Lords, Erin Pizzey was recognised for her work. Lord Hailsham stated, "This appellant, and the registered charity of which she is the agent, is providing a service... which is in fact provided by no other organ of our much vaunted system of public welfare... When people come to her door... in desperate straits and at all hours... the appellant does not turn them away... but takes them in and gives them shelter... And what happens to her when she does so? She finds herself the defendant in criminal proceedings at the suit of the local authority..."
In her article for the Daily Mail, Pizzey said that "militant" feminists – with the collusion of Labour's leading women – "hijacked" her cause to "destroy family life." Pizzey said of the newly emerging establishment "I never saw Women's Aid as a movement that was hostile to men, but The National Federation, which quickly formed, made it quite clear that men were the enemy."[excessive citations] After the alleged hijacking, the demand for a service for women survivors of domestic violence grew and soon public funding became available.:106 Pizzey has lamented that the movement she started had moved from the "personal to the political".

Pizzey is still actively working to help victims of domestic violence. She has been a patron of the charity Mankind Initiative since 2004, when she received a Roger Witcomb Award. From January 2007 to December 2011 she has published articles in the Daily Mail newspaper. In March 2007, as a guest, she attended the ceremony of opening the first Arab refuge for victims of domestic violence in Bahrain.
Pizzey said in 2009 that she has "never been a feminist, because, having experienced my mother's violence, I always knew that women can be as vicious and irresponsible as men".
In 2013, she joined the editorial and advisory board of the men's rights organization A Voice for Men[citation needed] (serving as an Editor and DV Policy Advisor) and from January to August wrote thirteen articles for the group's web site. Only one was published 14 July the following year. None was published in the first half of 2015.
Her two April articles pertained to two interviews she gave on the Reddit community "IamA", where she promoted her Facebook page and the "AVFM Online Radio" podcast on BlogTalkRadio. She announced her first interview a week prior on /r/MensRights.
In November 2014, Pizzey became owner/manager of the AVFM WhiteRibbon.org website, which has been criticised by the original White Ribbon Campaign as "a copycat campaign articulating ... archaic views and denials about the realities of gender-based violence."
Pizzey was interviewed for and appeared in the 2016 documentary film The Red Pill by Cassie Jaye about the men's rights movement.

I'm sorry, but I can't "quote" your post, and have any room left to comment, Lee! But I have read ALL of it (and have watched SOME of your video inclusion, which I will watch, in it's entirety, as time permits).

But I DO have a question for you, Lee. Your post is an interesting history lesson. Being American, I'm unfamiliar with most of the movement, "on the continent". But you started this thread with a question, "Are you a feminist?" I'm wondering if you're using your "question" rhetorically, as an excuse to give us a history lesson (as a means of showing us your erudition), or if your point is/was to initiate a discussion on the topic of "feminism". I HOPE the latter! But your posts, so far, tend to indicate the former.

So MY question, to/for YOU, is, "Are YOU a "feminist"?" I'm giving you an opening to explain YOUR personal opinions, yea or nay, and to justify those opinions. I (and PROBABLY like most, reading this) AREN'T interested in your history lesson, as much as YOUR opinion of the source/origins of the problem (which, I might add, do NOT originate in the 60's/70's - or WITH the feminist movement), the movement (as presently constituted and presented), and ANY possible remedies to/for the problem/situation, as YOU see it/them. And I give you ALL the lattitude you desire to wander afield, in your dissertation/analysis, as "I", personally, see this problem as only one small manifested segment of a larger question that bears on the functioning of human society, now, and in the future.

The floor is yours! handshake
