Feminism is about the elevation of women, not equality. True equality aims to elevate all people regardless of which side they’re on - that’s egalitarianism. Feminism pins men as oppressors and women as the oppressed, without nuance.
As a man do you consider yourself a feminist?

You literally don’t know what feminism is. Feminism says the PATRIARCHY and SYSTEM is the oppressor, not men. If you took one gender studies class, you’d know feminism is extremely nuanced.

Does feminism actually lack nuance or are you all just basing your opinions off of one subset of feminists? There are a lot of different opinions and views within feminism, and I think it’s actually good to discuss the nuances of some of these issues, rather than just declare feminism bad as a whole.

When one side doesn’t have the right to vote, elevating them creates equality. But world is not black and white, and you can only go so far with elevating one side.

As a woman, if you say you are a feminist it's come to my attention that most men think feminist = man hater. So if you don't have this nuance and understanding of the true meaning behind the feminist movement just say you aren't a feminist im going to take that as a red flag
