As far as a definition of feminism, well it depends on what you are trying to define about it. Some quotes from those who've tried:
Feminism is the advocacy of women's rights based on the equality of the sexes. - Oxford Dictionary
Feminism is the radical notion that women are people. - Marie Shear
I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat or prostitute. - Dame Rebecca West
Its agenda is basic: It asks that women not be forced to "choose" between public justice and private happiness. It asks that women be free to define themselves-- instead of having their identity defined for them, time and time again, by their culture and their men. - Susan Faludi
At is core, feminism is a multi-issue movement committed to extremely long-term goals: the ending of patriarchy; the achievement of economic, political, and social equality for all women; and the creation of a world free from sexism, racism, homophobia, classism, ageism, ableism, violence, and environmental exploitation. - Eleanor Smeal

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
