Might help also to describe what you think feminism is, since it's one of those terms that is overloaded.

I once had a physical therapist tell me she wasn't a feminist because she thought women couldn't be as physically capable as men when serving as soldiers, and seemed to believe feminism requires treating women exactly like men.

I told her I was a feminist because I believe in equal rights for men and women, an idea she did not seem so opposed to.

reversing sexism isn't a solution to any issue, it's the irrational hierarchies that are bad, not the fact that it's not your people on top.

also, I don't think I've ever heard a feminist talking about "all men are monsters", but I've definitely heard antifeminist men claim they do.

    I agree, but sadly I have seen posts claiming that all men are monsters and lots of people agreeing online, and not just once or twice.
