removed liberal bias from intro
'''Feminism''' is a philosophy which argues for equal treatment and responsibilities for men and women, and boys and girls. Feminism is originally an acknowledged medical condition where men take on female physical characteristics. The expression was taken up by the campaigners - originally known as [[suffragettes]] - for the vote for landed, middle-class women in Britain during the early part of the 20th century. This was at a time when neither men nor women could vote unless they owned property.
'''Feminism''' originally was an expression used by [[suffragettes]] - who were predominantly [[pro-life]] - to obtain the right for women to vote in the early 1900s in the [[United States]] and the [[United Kingdom]]. By the late 1900s, however, [[liberals]] had changed the meaning to represent people who favored [[abortion]] and the identical treatment of women in the military and in society as a whole.
