Had a lit class many years ago where the professor was a self proclaimed feminist. The first day, she went off curriculum and had everyone reading some heavily propagandized literature. She was openly hostile towards any of the men in the class. Refused to answer any of their questions, belittled them, etc. I dropped it, and one of my best friends stayed in out of curiosity. A couple months later, he told me that she was failing every guy that was still there. Purely malicious and discriminatory.
That's been my experience with the more outspoken "feminists" I've met. Sorry if someone hurt you, I really, truly am, but being that sort of vindictive and malicious towards men doesn't make you a feminist. It makes you a sexist and every bit as bad as the assholes who treat women poorly.
How hard is it to just be good and respectful to everyone?
Names and details.
This is just vague caricature bullshit.
