I think the problem here is that folks are painting with broad strokes. All feminists are x or all feminists are y. It's entirely without nuance.

People subscribe to many different -isms and interpret them in different ways. Feminism for one person might be more militant than feminism for another. The same holds true for Catholicism, communism, liberalism, conservatism, etc.

It would be easy to look at a few extreme examples and indict an entire movement but that would also be grossly irresponsible. I think we should all endeavor to capture the complexity of political movements instead of hurling about stereotypes and generalizations.
