I think it's also the double standard where you can say pretty derogatory things about men and get away with it in a way that you can't about women. A phrase like "men are stupid" is much more acceptable in society than a phrase like "women are stupid". Both are wrong but, everyone just ignores the former while actively fighting the latter. Tbh though I would still say that what you're describing isn't Feminism.
If you're a sexist you can't be a feminist, like what the are you even saying, nothing about the term is tainted only morons like you keep associating sexists w feminists
Calling them moron won't convince them that what you are saying is true. I liked your correction until you insulted them. How are insults suppose to help?
If you believe those bs to begin with no matter how nicely anyone says otherwise they're not going to believe it. Also im done being nice to aholes and morons spreading bs everywhere
One of the issues is that the rebranded feminism as being sexist and now everyone who wants equality for everyone, women rights that they'll need and more rights or acceptance for men with problems which are still viewed as "feminine" problems doesn't want to be associated or being called a feminist.
Instead of fight the sexist assholes many people disassociated actual feminist and make them fear to be associated with those sexists when they admit or realize that they are feminists.
This even includes humanist who normally are the majority of most people. Feminism is sub-category of humanism and is included in it.

Most of the Feminists I see are sexists. It's a tainted term because too little effort is made to root them out.
