The term 'feminist' was first used in a newspaper article in 1895. It was adopted by the women's rights movement as the term 'women's liberationist' had too many negative connotations. In the modern day, feminism has come to fight for the rights of men and the LGBT community. However, it again has negative connotations, mainly due to 'radical feminists', who basically use feminism as an excuse for misandry, and make the rest us look crazy.
