    We’ll have to agree to disagree about what I’ve been saying, I guess. I have been addressing your point that a minority of bad actors in the feminist movement define the movement. This is the same argument used by the referred to “men who hate woman” in the meme. My argument is that a minority of a feminists do not define the movement as a whole. And to a large extent the image of the movement is irrelevant to what the movement is as anyone can create a false perception by discounting reality to suit their own beliefs. This has been my point the entire time. I have simple generalized what I’m saying as it is true of movements more broadly than just feminism. The flaw I’m addressing in the argument is that it is aimed at individual feminists and not what feminism’s core tenant is, that women are equal to men, and deserve to be treated as such in society.
