You hear the word devoid of any context. What is your initial reaction when you hear or read the word "feminism?"

The word has been somewhat tainted in the modern context by fringe elements that peddle hysteria and misandry. Still, I prefer to think of the word in the context of women representing women and fighting for women, with good and honest intent. As such I don't fear feminism at all, it isn't a threat to me. Radical feminism is a threat to a peaceful society, as are most radical ideologies.
