Why did the womens liberation movement start?
The women's liberation movement started in the late 1960s as a type of feminism. It was for women to strive for equality with men.
If black feminism wasn't in the world what would happen to the African American Women?
I'd argue that if black feminism didn't exist there would still be womanism, and whether there was a term for black feminism/womanism or not black women would still be fighting for their rights as human beings. Feminism is overwhelmingly white-centered, however consider before the suffrage (white women fighting for white womens rights, and ignoring the rights of women of colour) black women were still fighting for their rights to exist and to their freedom - white feminism is a small island in a sea of history of women fighting for their rights to be treated as equals.

What does it take to be a feminist?
Technically, all you have to do is identify as a feminist. At worst, you'd be a bad feminist (as opposed to not a real feminist) because feminism is a movement, not an organisation. To be a good feminist, you'd have to engage in women's rights advocacy or women's rights activism.
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.
Why is feminism important to men?
Feminism is important to all genders because it seeks to end patriarchy which harms both men and women, for example patriarchy suggests that men shouldn't cry, shouldn't care for children, and that men are slaves to their penises. Feminism frees men from the same oppressive system that keeps women tied to sexist gender roles too, and fights for mens rights along with womens rights.

Has modern feminism lost its principles?
Some critics have argued that modern feminism has lost its principles. However, feminism is not a stationary idea, and has to change in order to continue to be useful. Feminism has gone through many phases or waves since its advent in the United States, from First Wave Feminism all the way to Fourth Wave Feminism. Just within the U.S. feminism has changed from a movement focused on getting women the vote, and from being a movement largely run only by white, middle-class straight women, to a feminism that attempts to be more inclusive to all women, regardless of their race, ability, sexuality, religion, class and other identities. Feminism has branched into numerous subsets, such as eco-feminism, radical feminism, and (Multi)Cultural feminism, in an attempt to acknowledge all women and all their experiences. Feminism in different countries takes different forms and means different things. So feminism has changed in many ways since its advent, but it has not lost its principles. Feminism still seeks to bring equality to women, and dismantling, and dismantling oppressive institutions, which are what its principles have always been.
