Feminism remains vital in addressing the ongoing complex issues, as well as addressing the new challenges of global nature, like the rights of transgender individuals and the global fight for reproductive justice. Many men too have embraced feminism, understanding that gender stereotypes and roles also restrict their behavior, emotions, and opportunities. This paper aims to explore the historical evolution, multifaceted nature and address the common misconceptions of feminism. Here an attempt has been made to find out the reasons behind these myths and to provide a defense, along with some examples against these accusations.
