Let's say you're dating a non-Western girl. If, for some reason or within any context, she asks you what feminism is, what would your response be?
More importantly, how do you explain it A) without revealing your personal hatred towards feminism, and B) without getting her curious enough so she'd research it on her own (which is a little risky)?
I tend to think that a broad definition of it, along with a rational explanation of its strengths (which are few) and weaknesses (which are many), would work. But that wouldn't necessary appeal to her emotions, as a good meme would. So I think a short explanation topped off with a meme-worthy one-liner quip would help her understand what feminism is, and more importantly, understand how harmful it is for society (particularly women).
