The better the idea, the more power it has, the bigger the criticism becomes. That being said, Feminism must be quite the powerful idea because it has a load of critics. The majority of these critics are the ones that have been completely uneducated on what Feminism really is. I 'll say it once and I 'll say it again, Feminism advocates equality. Participants of what would be called Anti-feminism have almost entirely flipped the main goals of Feminism and created their own definition of what it means.

How about an example, a quote from a WAF post, "I don 't need 'feminism ' because I love masculine men like Christian Grey." This group, unfortunately, is very well known. Some poor saps are reading these and probably agreeing with these women because they are so uneducated on what Feminism really advocates. But can someone tell me where in the definition of Feminism it says that men can 't be masculine? Who told you that Feminism will take over the world and all men will be our weak little pets?
