As a feminist, I feel we are sometimes our own worst enemy, like I can't even say thing without feeling I will get a ton of hate, just saw the front page news about the yahoo CEO and what she did...I..I am not supporting her actions, is this ok ? I am for equality, not the extreme of the other side.

Why are men AND women put off by feminism? I'll tell ya. Let's say tomorrow we started calling Eggo Waffles pancakes instead. And then everyone started doing it. The dictionary becomes useless. Feminism has been destroyed by internet crybullies whining largely about first world problems like manspreading (coughwomensbagscough), and propping up long LONG debunked ideas like a wage gap based on sexism. Feminists have worked long and hard to implement the Duluth model that points the finger squarely at men, even when they are the victim of domestic abuse 40% of the time. Men receive 60% longer jail sentences than women, even when criminal history is controlled for. Feminism does NOTHING for the inequalities men face, and turns around and says it's for men too, and fighting all inequality. Are you honestly going to sit here and tell me women are oppressed in the western world? Come off it. Go to Saudia Arabia and walk around wearing a bikini. Tell me how that works out for you. That's oppression. That's why I'm an egalitarian.
