That's not the definition of feminist I'm using, nor is it the definition I ever see actually in use. That's what it used to mean, maybe, but these days it refers to someone (usually but not always a woman) who has built "women are oppressed and we must fix it" into their identity, such that they support many discriminatory policies as long as they are in favour of women. In other words it has stopped being about equal rights. Now it's about better rights for women. where is the evidence that people who harass and abuse women online are doing it because they feel their rights and their jobs are under threat There is a well established history at this point of outspoken 'feminists' (using the above definition) attracting disproportionate amounts of hate online. The reason is pretty simple: they dish it out themselves.
