Can y'all just stop being so weird about feminism?

Why do so many men (and some women) have such an issue with feminism?
What problem do you have with equal opportunities?

I'm a feminist even though I find some feminists obnoxious. I'm not an extremist, but I am a proud feminist. I'm a feminist because I know that I enjoy the benefits of activism by women before me who could not. I'm a feminist because I can vote. I'm a feminist because my bank accounts, credit cards, and mortgage are in my own name. I'm a feminist because I can dispose of my property as I see fit, marry without parental permission, seek a divorce on my own, and be a full-fledged person under the law. I'm a feminist because I've had premarital sex without shame. I am, in the end, a feminist because I believe that men, women, and everyone in between all have an inherent right to equitable participation in society, and because I know that we are, still, a long way off from achieving that goal.
