    3rd wave kinda… did that on their own. Barely a few years ago there were ‘feminists’ shutting down MRA sessions by pulling fire alarms where it was literally a bunch of dudes talking about their problems. It’s still relatively recent memory that people who called themselves feminists were some of the most unhinged human beings we had to deal with.

    Yes, you can argue “those weren’t actually feminists” or “they were extreme and don’t represent everyone” but a lot of people still have those feminists in mind when the term comes up. It’s not “men who hate women” who created this perception, it is the women who hate men.

      The issue is men on youtube showing those few bad apples and declaring: “This is feminism”
      You can find idiots in any movement. You can’t “kick them out”. Feminism isn’t a club you join.
      The issue is men like you not being able to think for yourself and simple believing what some dudes on youtube tell you.
