A very good reason to generally attack/dismiss feminism IMO is that it is this morphing amoeba-like ideology. One's personal feminism is always different from 'those mainstream feminists', yet you do not see a lot of distancing from some of the very harmful feminist extremists that are around. ("NAFALT" - not all feminists are like that)
It's gotten to the point where the analogue would be to label oneself a 'stalinist libertarian' (because not all stalinists are like that) or other similar nonsense.
- tunesmith 12y agoI disagree just because an overloaded term is not necessarily a meaningless or low-value term - many of its definitions might be important. I do agree that overloaded terms are frustrating, though. It also doesn't help that some of the overloading of "feminism" is from its detractors.
