Re: Definition of a 'feminist'
True feminist are the people who believe that no woman should be stopped from doing some work (that she want to do) just for the reason that "she is a woman" and I support their stance.
Any other crap that men and women are equal is just crap. Just like you cant compare apples and oranges, you cant compare men and women. They have their own strong grounds and their weak grounds.

Please don't turn turn this into a "women are the victims" rant.
Feminists are women who fight for equality but in the West this is irrelevant and feminism has just been reduced to women whining about this or that. Women already have equal opportunity, and the legal system is biased towards women. What more do they want?
Feminists want equal results which no law can guarantee. Men work harder and longer, usually at a sacrifice to their health because it's directly tied to their social standing and marriage opportunities. No guy ever looked at a woman and said "I wonder if she could support our family". There's a reason why the number of women who are self-made billionaires is dwarfed when compared to men, and this is just looking at '80s or '90s onward.
Notice I said nothing about ability, just about priorities.
Re: Definition of a 'feminist'
If Feminism is all about "men and women are equal" then i must ask... what women want to prove by proving that. Is it some kind of complex. Why don't they feel happy for what they are. They have heaven in their feet. Paoon main janat mil gayi aur kia chahye bhi. And then we women complain that male chivalry has gone from men. Means if you think male and females are equal then why complain that they don't give you special privilege.

I agree with you! Unfortunately, in the west, feminism has been reduced to women whining and complaining about little things. And you are absolutely right when you say the legal system here is very biased towards women. I say that all the time! Feministic attitude is only natural given our history. Women have sacrificed way more than men to have the rights they enjoy. Unfortunately, they got the rights but complain due to centuries long wait to eventually feel that they are not under men's control. Feminism is not evil, it has helped society become more efficient and fair. Few more centuries in future, I bet you this whining and complaining will stop

If you don't see anything wrong with the way women are treated and how much harder they have work to prove their worth then good for you. It's for a reason that not every woman is a feminist :). Not all of us have the same life experiences and not all women in the world enjoy the rights that you and I have. Someone has to stand up for them. Feminism is a desire for justice. Just as you oppose slavery though you are not one, you would also oppose minority/women ill-treatment even though you are not the victim here.
