The hardships of being a woman have been documented since the dawn of the world. It’s always a damsel in distress taking care of her husband, children, and household while looking after herself to comply with the beauty standards of the age.

The many worries stacked on top of her fragile shoulders can't compare in their severeness though to the general sexism beliefs about women’s image and their bodies, to this day making it seem as though we ladies don't own our bodies, but rather are here for men’s entertainment.

Now, feminism and feminist views aren't something we usually associate with funny feminist memes and jokes. Still, humor is often the best medium to convey cold, hard facts and the ugly truth.

What Does Feminism Stand for Today?

The original goal of feminism is to bring change and empowerment to every woman and girl’s life. As a complex and diverse movement with a long history, feminism aims to achieve equal rights, opportunities, and support for people of all genders.

Today the movement is influenced by various theories and perspectives, such as Black feminism, queer feminism, and intersectional feminism, that recognize the diversity and interconnectedness of different forms of oppression and discrimination. 

Feminism uses various forms of activism and communication, such as social media, protests, and art, to fight the patriarchy and colonial structures that limit the freedom and potential of women and gender-diverse people. Feminism today isn't only about females but about anyone who is affected and seeks gender equality.

50 Best Feminism Memes

Feminist memes are a great way to create humor and express the views of the feminist movement. Whether these digital creations are funny, sarcastic, or empowering, they can educate and inspire people. This form of art and activism covers many different topics.

There are plenty of tweets about feminism that are so funny that even the manliest men laugh at them. But the online world expands way beyond Twitter, so Bored Panda has decided to gather some of the best feminist and sexist memes from all over the internet.

Pregnancy struggles, anti-harassment clothes, this list features it all, and then some more of these funny jokes. Even Simone de Beauvoir would be laughing at these sexism examples. Scroll down to check out 50 feminist memes to keep you entertained and motivated! Share with a friend and upvote the best memes by these brave and funny women.

I am sure that if men would have menstruation it would be much easier to get sick leave from the work and also most painkiller drugs would be available without the prescription.

Why would you show only fictional characters? These mean nothing. Show the female Russian snipers of WWII, show real female vikings - fictional characters are meaningless.

bad feminists think you have to act like a man. So girls have to actually fight, be strong (especially in movies). Why aren't more feminist heroes shown knitting while rocking a baby in her lap? A woman can be what she wants to be, so she's not a better feminist as a CEO than a mother. Feminism means we can choose to wear that cape or that dress, and rock both of them.

See it isn't about eschewing anything that is associated with effeminacy, avoiding dresses or pinkness. All that ends up doing is just appeal to the idea that femininity, and anything associated with women, is bad; a clear lie at the core of sexism. It's up to everyone themselves whether or not they want to wear the dress; it doesn't make you any worse or less of a person whichever way you choose <3

Yes! So well said. Also, feminism is just about gender equality, and saying that feminists have to do "man stuff" or "unladylike things" just negates gender equality.

Actually, the way it's displayed (I'm primarily referring to the Wonder Woman movie from 2017) is based off of Roman armor, not pure aesthetic

Even if it were a dress, would it matter? Dresses don’t make woman weak just because in the past they were forced to wear them. We women of today are strong, we know our rights, and we are continually creating places for ourselves in a world that was once meant only for men. Today, what we do, what we wear, how we speak, how we act, it is all a choice. So if we choose to wear a dress, it shouldn’t change anything about our freedom and strength. I don’t get the point of this picture. The other were good but this? What is implied here?

it does always bug me though. women as superhero’s were always depicted in small, tight clothes to “please” men who read comics about the heroine. meanwhile, the males get wear cool clothes that have a personality and tell a story. all until captain marvel came along and changed the playbook! 😍

Women and men can do whatever the hell they want. You can't "act like a girl/boy" because gender isn't a personality traits. Its what you have in your pants.

I've been harassed once when I was a week from giving birth to my son. I had edema everywhere, a huuuuuge belly, and I was red from walking for an 1h (trying to get the labor to start). I was wrap in a coat Hell to big for me. I'm not sure this outfit would be 100% harassment-proofed

Well, you know what they say... "The way to hell is paved with good intentions". You might mean well when you shout behind her back words like "hey, sexy! You're so fuckable! Where you going?", but you have to consider her stance as well.

When I had just started to date my future hubby a male friend got his heart broken by a mutual 'friend'. I went to his house and he literally cried on my shoulder. When I returned to my then BF he got s****y and insinuated that I slept with him/shouldn't be helping him/etc. I turned to him and said that if I wanted to date my father I would live in Alabama and if he didn't think he could trust me he could leave. Whelp, we have been married for almost 18 years and he treats me like an adult...sooo, stand up for yourselves ladies!

What Is a Popular Feminist Slogan?

As phrases or statements that express the beliefs and goals of the feminist movement, popular feminist slogans are widely used to raise awareness, inspire action, and challenge oppression.

  • “The future is female.” 

It originated from a 1970s lesbian separatist movement and was revived as a symbol of women’s empowerment and leadership.

  • “Nevertheless, she persisted.” 

It’s inspired by a remark made by Senator Mitch McConnell in 2017 when he tried to silence Senator Elizabeth Warren during a debate on the nomination of Jeff Sessions as attorney general. 

  • “Girls just want to have fun-damental’s rights.”

This slogan plays on the lyrics of the 1983 song “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper. It highlights the contrast between the stereotypes of women as frivolous and carefree and the reality of women’s struggles.

All these slogans, quotes, and women memes prove feminism isn't only a theory but a practice and a vision for a more just and peaceful world. They blend humor with poignant commentary on gender equality and sexism, highlighting how satire and wit can effectively communicate women’s challenges.
