> Yes, that's the definition as it certainly "feels" like to many men. And because it's perceived this way, it's mission is hamstrung from the word go.

The problem here is men basing their view of feminism on their own emotional intuition, or at the very least, approaching feminism through the lens of third party anti-feminist activism and web culture rather than engage with feminism or feminist theory firsthand.

Obviously if everything you know about feminism comes from people who hate it, and caricature radical feminists on Twitter and Tumblr, you're not going to trust any criticism the movement has about you. But that's like expecting to get a realistic view of black culture from /pol/.

Fair enough, but no man or woman is an island we all must be cognizant of others' perceptions.
