Feminism is an incredibly simple concept: "stop being mean to women." The idea that feminism could do any harm at all betrays a severe misunderstanding of either feminism or harm, if not both.

feminism has been overall a massive good force. I mean literally women didn't have the right to vote for like a billion years! Couldn't have finances in their name, in living memory. The gains are massive and outweigh being annoyed (as I am!) in the present day

Under 35 female, I think it did a lot of good in the past, but sometimes nowadays it seems to shoot itself in the foot.

What do you mean by "feminism"?
So many versions/definitions it makes it impossible to answer without being more specific

Suffrage and sexual freedom are worthy imo, but to judge the movement as a continuum (e.g. waves) and all its misgivings, doubts do arise.
