No they are becasue the majority that identify themselves as feminist act like that. It's really not hard mate. And honestly, what has Feminism ever done for men?

And when nearly everyone who identifies as a feminist acts like a man-hating fool, what then? The term feminist has been hijacked by spurned women, but there are some who refuse to acknowledge that. 

 

Those are some bold statements. Out of curiosity, what information are they based on?

 

Well, the predominant and powerful arms of feminism are those that fall on what most would term the "radical" side of feminism. I wouldn't personally call them "man-hating fools", but certainly anti-equality in many ways and often have viewpoints or propositions which are harmful to men. These viewpoints are found first of all in all those horrible feminist holes on the internet, but this brand of feminism is also the kind seen on Universities, in large parts of the feminist news media (ie Jessica Valenti) and in the largest feminist organization NOW.

Again, these are the parts of feminism that hold the most power and are clearly the loudest voices, so why should we not say "these individuals and these groups and these viewpoints are representative of modern feminism"?
