People who don't support feminism...

Do you not support it because how crazy it has become actually integrating nonsense into our society, laws, and opportunities. So you still do support equality or do you not support it because you believe in equity or that the genders are not equal. I'm just curious.
I personally don't support it because of all the above. Sort of.

I would consider myself a feminist.
I would say it's important to keep in mind that not everyone in a group is going to have the exact same beliefs. Not all people on the political left or right are going to agree with eachother.

I think the negativity and hypocrisy fostered by some feminists needs to be addressed within the "community" beyond saying "not all feminists..."
It's something that needs to change.
I don't necessarily believe in what some people make feminism out to be, but I do believe in what I think are the core values and beliefs in feminism which are Striving for fair and equal treatment for all people regardless of race, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, creed, or caste. And lifting up the disadvantaged or oppressed people of the world so we can all have the same opportunity to make the most of our potential as individual people.

@AmbivalentFriability Feminism has affected gender laws opportunities and etc. It has not made the sexes equal but encouraged more smart men to lose respect for women because they get benefits because theyre women. You don't have to believe anyone. Just look at how it has affects laws careers social standards etc. Then people are saying. hey this is going to far. just because ur a women doesnt mean u get to skip people. get in the back of the line.

@LittleAnonymousChick since when have woman been allowed to skip people. granted i am an original feminist, not the i hate men type but women still are not equal. we don't get equal pay, we are not accepted as ceos etc in most companies. we are a minority in the senate and congress, many men assume we are there for their sexual gratification and we still have not cracked the white house while most developed nations have or have had woman in the top job. i agree some jobs seem better suited to men than women, but to pass over a woman and not give her a chance if she wants it is wrong. i can remember when the only job women were suited for were nurses and secretaries. yes disagree with man hating feminists but never for get and be grateful for what the original feminists fought and got you.
