I've always thought feminism had two completely different meanings. The first is the women's rights movement; millions of people working together to save women from abuse, mistreatment, disempowerment, and malignant brainwashing. The second is misdirected hatred that seems obsessed with the idea that we're in the worst possible world, and every straight, white man is to blame.

The former is a beacon of light unto the world, and spreading it at all costs is paramount. The latter is a disease that hurts everyone involved, especially the women and girls that it scares and disempowers.

@BlueVeins That's my biggest criticism of what it's become also.
People are told half truths by misguided people and it becomes a self fulfilling cycle, creating the reality in their minds of what they seek to rid themselves of.
