I don't think anyone was hating on feminism . The quote was " crazy feminist" I believe. Feminism , like all "isms" has its fanatics and extremists.

There (is? was?) some smart and eye-opening stuff on that blog, although she seems to have locked it down now, presumably to weather the storm of new readers. I hope it returns. Also: it may not be immediately evident, but to call someone a "crazy feminist" is the same kind of triggering words as "uppity" is to black people. Accusations of craziness have a long history of being used to shut up women who were making a fuss.
