For those who view feminism as mostly negative, did the movement begin with good intentions?

I didn't select a poll option because I have a different opinion. Feminism began in this country because women were treated so differently than men! We didn't have the right to vote! We were never paid, (if we were allowed to work), the same amount of money as a man for the same work.

So I believe feminism began with valid intentions for fair treatment and equality. And there are very few men, nowadays, who will tell us "little" women to get back in the kitchen. "where we belong." That's what my grandmother and my mother, both, had to endure.

However, some idiots have taken good intentions and warped them into something which is easier for men to mock.

Like all far left radical movements, radical feminists can be vicious, and a little bit ridiculous, and that is why men mock them.

The truth is, straight women need men, families need men, children need good father figures and we, (feminists also included), could not exist without them.
