What is another word for feminism?
I don't believe that there is another word for feminism, the term feminist is clear on it's intentions: a movement to bring about gender equality. There are similar movements such as womanism which is a movement for equality for women of colour, as mainstream feminism is mostly white-centered many black women feel they need their own movement outside feminism to fight for their rights.

Does the US still need feminism?
Yes, the United States still needs feminism - if anything it needs feminism more than ever. Feminism is a movement that is concerned with womens equality, currently there are many people seeking to strip women of their basic human rights within American society: for example denying women reproductive rights such as birth control access or abortion access, also within America there is a serious problem with harassment and rape of women. Feminism is also intersectional, recognizing that women will not have true equality until all women are free from oppression, which means feminism has to tackle issues such as racism, transphobia, and homophobia - while police can still shoot black people like it's nothing, while trans women are still being murdered at an alarming rate, and while lesbian women can be denied the right to marriage...feminism is still needed.
How do you practice feminism?
Feminism is more of a belief, but you can support equality of women. Practice your right to vote and protect the rights of women, do not demean women, and if you are a woman make sure to go out and break the gender roles set forth by society by getting an education and being a strong/independent woman!
What is the point of black feminism?
The point of any movement for equality that focuses on a minority is to look at issues that effect that particular group of people and addresses problems that they face.Black Feminism is to Feminism, as Feminism is to Egalitarianism.Egalitarianism is the trend of thought that believes that all people should be equal, however people are not equal and thus different people will face different issues that require specific focus - for example we have feminism because women are an oppressed group, black civil rights movements because black people are an oppressed group, and gay rights movements because homosexual people are an oppressed group. Feminism represents a movement to bring equality to all women, but it must be recognized that women within certain minority groups are more oppressed than say white women...thus there are more issues to be focused upon. Feminism is overwhelmingly white-centered, so black feminism exists to specifically deal with issues that impact on black women.
