I used to think like you, but in practice it's only about choices feminists agree with. If you disagree, you're gonna be judged and you've been brainwashed by the evilz patriarchy and you're deemed an idiot (heh, see?). I disagree with like 90% of what feminists say (no, not the rad fems... the super nice, my friends feminists).
Except for that "yay I like equal rights" most basic principle of course. I call that principle "being a decent person", cool new concept yes xD I wish humanism, egalitarianism, etc would replace feminism.
I can't see why just cause I'm grateful for some important things some people did in the past I should agree and be part of the HUGE (and varied) movement associated with it, a movement that is today very different. That's sort of like saying I can never disagree or dislike a certain medical practice because medicine helped humanity greatly.
If feminism was about choice, the feminists can let people choose not to be a part of their movement. Instead of being so "you're either with us or against us", "either a feminist or a bigot"
Generally I hate all modern social activism though I can get bitchy around bigots (trying to stop doing that) and like to keep up on gay rights news.
But I just wanted to point out your argument that "but those are not real feminists" is called a No True Scotsman logical fallacy, I think it doesn't work.
You can still roar in disagreement if you like
I only have a problem with the Feminists that are interested in getting revenge for all the years that women were oppressed, believe that men are the sole reason for all problems in this world, think that breast-feeding male infants is promoting the sexualization of women, and believe that all men should be castrated.
Don't get me wrong, I have a few feminist friends myself, but I have also met a feminists that believe these crazy things, and try to take away men's rights while claiming that they're an equalist.

I'm not here to advocate feminism, and I'm not here to put it down. I just thought it was an interesting conversation and wanted to contribute my
But thanks for saying it's an "awesome" comment.
