Feminism is as old as society, so it’s not a movement per se, but a philosophical framework for thinking about gender issues in society. Like any other philosophical framework, it has branches and subsets. On average when people think Feminism, their frame of reference starts with the suffragette movements, which is how we came up with demarcation of “waves” of different periods in recent Feminist history which are defined by overarching themes. But Feminism as a philosophy accepts that there is a spectrum of Feminist thought which on one end enables the freedom to be a trad-wife, and on the other end enables the freedom to be a man. Therefore, feminism is not just for women’s freedom, but also for the freedom of men. Its underlying root is to question authority and the status quo. Consequently, it’s in line with Feminist ideology, then, to question Feminism itself (and therefore justify giving up one’s freedom and power to another). As far as group incoherency is concerned, that’s something which applies to all groups, sadly.
