I'd propose to be more careful when throwing "feminism" in the ring - it really is an umbrella term, and it makes it so much harder to discuss things because so much time is wasted looking for where the goal posts reside today.
One potential downside is that deconstructing the umbrella also removes that feeling of speaking for a huge majority. I'd consider that a feature because it's a misleading notion.

A good post on the shared properties and differences of feminisms: https://culturallyboundgender.wordpress.com/2013/07/24/shared-girlhood-red-herrings-and-the-creation-of-the-third-wave/ https://culturallyboundgender.wordpress.com/2013/07/24/share... All women are different, but all women experienced girlhood, and experience male violence. Sadly most in the HN crowd don't have the proper familiarity to understand that kind of nuance.
