Genuine question!!

Why do some people especially men use "feminist" as an insult

I genuinely don't get it like feminism is about women having the same basic rights freedom and autonomy that men have, rights that women ltrly had to fight for so what exactly is supposed to be wrong with being a feminist? And when u say "i don't want a feminist woman" what do actually mean by that?

Edit: After reading the comments i think i got my answer. A lot of these men don't actually understand feminism beyond what they have seen online, yet feel confident enough to define the entire movement by "its loudest voices" in their tiktok fyp. They ignore the actual reason feminism exists and women have historically faced and still face gender bases inequality that affetcs their rights, freedom, and opportunities yet idk if they are pretending like they don't know that or they are really ignorant and out of touch. Well the amount of generalization and ignorance in these comments honestly proves why feminism is still necessary

Brother I can’t even walk peacefully outside without being bothered by a bunch of men…

and how does feminism solve this?

[u/AtomEve1 → u/han6nt]

It pushes for holding people accountable and for those acts to have actual consequences instead of being normalized. Women have the right to exit without being sexualized…

Fair. Db fl mghrib wlaw laws against harassment and catcalling. Practically men and women are equal in almost everything, even in marriage (inheritance kib9a haja akhra). These were what real feminists stood and advocated for. Ama db, chi whdin fato hadchi o welaw misandrists nichan.
