'Feminismus' and 'Feminist' are closely connected, but they do not refer to the same thing. 'Feminismus' is the movement, idea, or attitude in favor of equality. 'Feminist' refers to a person who supports this idea or works for it. The words can be confused because they look almost the same. Remember: 'Feminismus' is the cause or movement; 'Feminist' is the person.
