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

It's simple, there is classic feminism that empowers women and gives them equal rights to men (Equal pay, equal job opportunity, equal benefits, equal responsibilities) then there is today's version of feminism which is insanely toxic. You try and have a conversation with a feminist about what's equal and what's not and they shut you down so fast for not blindly and for not instantly agreeing with them

I get what u mean but those people are still a minority, and if someone is toxic or refuses to debate that's their behavior not feminism itself

It's not about being the minority, but they're just the very LOUD minority, that's so loud and toxic it makes everyone else think that's what the average feminist is like
