Feminism refers to politics, cultural and economic movements seeking greater, equal, or among a minority, superior rights and participation in society for women and girls. These rights and means of participation include legal protection and inclusion in politics, business, and scholarship and recognition and building of women’s cultures and power. It concepts overlap with those of women’s rights. Feminism is controversial for challenging traditions in many fields and especially for supporting shifting the political balance toward women. Some feminists argue that men cause and benefit form sexism; while other argue that all people are harmed by gender roles and therefore that feminism is for women and men. Feminists are persons of either sex, or females only in which case males may be profeminists, who believe in feminism.
