ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

New feminism

New feminism is a movement that believes everyone, no matter if they are a boy or a girl, should have the same chances in life. This means that girls should be able to do anything they want, just like boys can.

In the olden days, girls were expected to stay home and take care of the family, while boys went to work and made important decisions. But new feminism thinks this is unfair and silly.

New feminism also believes that girls should be paid the same amount of money as boys when they grow up and start working. And if they want to become a scientist, a police officer, a teacher, or a president, they should be able to do it without anyone telling them they can't.

In short, new feminism is all about making the world a fairer and better place for everyone, so that boys and girls can grow up to be whatever they want to be.
