    When were you defending me?

    Just by upvoting, I meant

    Is extreme feminism not considered feminism in your mind?

    No. Feminism is wanting to reach equality and stop discrimination between sex/genders, which I’m all for. Extreme feminism is wanting women superiority, or attacking men to improve women’s situation

      OK, I’m just going to throw it out there that most people consider extreme feminists to be feminists.

        Violent and strict feminists are probably feminist if they seek equality. I don’t think it’s a good position to be in, but that’s it

        There is a popular trend of “all men”, or “the world would be better without men”, this is not feminism, and that’s the definition of “extreme feminism” for me. Misandry is extreme feminism. These people can go fuck themselves. They’re enemies of feminism.

        Hating others is easy. There’s a lot of xenophoby, homophoby, transphoby, sexism. We don’t need more hate from the marginalized people themselves.

        I hope what you’re saying is not true. I’ve seen things that make me think it could be, but I still hope must people aren’t morons.

          To say those people aren’t feminists is a way to avoid accepting that feminists can believe those terrible things. Yes, it’s destructive and yes it discredits the rest of the movement. Feminists rarely if ever disown them.

            The original definition and ideology of feminism is reaching gender equality in a society that favors men

            I’m just basing myself on this definition. Maybe it changed. Your opinion is valid too in my opinion. In the end, I prefer to see it my way because I can still say I’m a feminist, in the good way

            Feminists rarely if ever disown them.

            I haven’t seen many people talk about them indeed. Maybe because the misandrists are the one who speak the loudest

            What a sad world we live in
