And to make an informed decision, one would have to know what feminism is. My point is that a fair number of men on this forum don't have the first clue because they dine at the manosphere dung-heap.

Dissenter is the only one here who had a good response, AFAIC. He'd ask her what she meant by that, and go from there.

Penis envy + daddy issues + mental instability = feminism.

So for me, the answer to the OPs question is no thank you. Next question.

That's a woman who needs a therapist. That isn't a feminist.

What if one doesn't need to have that person even define to know whether they would break off a relationship from a superficial label? Would one not date another if they don't fit a certain identification of a label, which will vary by person?

I wonder what my cats label of feminism is? He definitely prefers the female gender, but does that make him misogynostic? Now I'm questioning my cats true feelings on feminism.

I still like cats.

Would I date a woman who turned out to be a feminist?

Actually I think I'd have a difficult time with a woman who wasn't.

No, no, sorry ladies. One of the sisters already has me. But good luck to all you folks out there.

Also a lot of feminists can take it too far and start spouting off hate towards men. That's why I wouldn't want to date one.

Why do you think feminists hate men? Some do, but they are extremists and do not portray what feminism means to most women.

I love men. I think they are great. I just think women are equal to men. That's it.

Next question.
Why are you exposing yourself? The above stated clearly apply to you!

Haven't we seen these behaviors in this very forum on a multitude of occasions? What's wrong with addressing the antiquated nature of patriarchy, or is it only bothersome if the feminist is a petulant harpy?

Any woman that mentions "patriarchy" is also a feminist. Feminists typically like to make up things and fudge history to justify their war on men and their (the woman's) current societal privilege.
