Women generally realise men en masse are not defined by individual lunatics! You cld doubt this if you listen to too many feminists.https://twitter.com/rhodeislander/status/885653021685944325 …

& current feminism *does* come from women's perspective, it *is* dominated by claims of patriarchy & culturally constructed gender.
-
It does produce a lot of nonsense abt mansplaining & cultural appropriation & wage gaps etc. This is what ppl associate with feminism.
-
It's why only 7% of Brits are feminists even tho 80% support gender equality. It's just one approach to gender equality & its not popular.
-
Even more reason to draw a line somewhere. And not let it hijacked. Feminism is meant to have a positive meaning and simply for balancing.
-
Good luck with that. At some point, you end up sounding like those people who say '"Gay" means "happy"' & excluding themselves from convo.
-
Sorry, I'm not sure I understand
-
When people criticise feminism, they are not criticising gender equality. If you insist on conflating the two, you just can't discuss.
-
That's the thing.They aren't criticising feminisim.They criticise something else that they insist on calling feminism.It's counterproductive

That's why it's best to reserve it for what it really means. Unfortunately, accepting those as some shift drags everyone with it, unfairly.
-
It really does mean the reality that it is right now. We can either accept this & address it or keep claiming it just means gender equality.

A very similar issue occurs within religion. Radical islam vs islam. This is why I think you need to consider what it means to conjoin those
-
Same thing. Extremist feminism or Islam is the worst. Milder feminism or Islam is a milder problem. No feminism or Islam is best.
-
You're twisting my meaning here and you're wrong. The problem isn't with any equality ideology but people directly abusing or assisting in.
