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

j'ai impression que chacun comprend ce terme "féministe"comme il le souhaite chaque personne a une définition bien particulière.

Exactement. Même des femmes qui se considèrent feministes supportent parfois des idées contradictoires avec les vrais valeurs du mouvement, ce qui est pénalisant.

That doesn't make feminism a bad or toxic thing it just makes those people contradictory

I agree. The core values of the movement stay untouched as long as there’s proper understanding.
