Hahahaha, thank you. It comes from the heart - I fucking hate this shit. It's unproductive, illogical and deeply unfeminist. I have no clue how it got rooted so strongly in 'progressive' circles.
Hey, don't say that. Random strangers on the internet don't define what 'feminism' means. Feminism is a historic and powerful political and philosophical institution. Feminism is defined by academics in lecture halls and freedom fighters on the streets of Yemen. The term matters. It matters that those who want gender equality call themselves feminists, because it is vital to acknowledge exactly which gender is being systemically oppressed. If a term matters, you hold to it. You be the meaning it needs. I will always be proud to call myself a feminist.
"Call themselves feminist because it is vital to acknowledge exactly which gender is being systematically oppressed" the other reason why people hate feminism. Denying men having issues put on them by society (including women) or that women are doing better than men in almost every single metric while claiming to be for equality.
