You have an incredibly screwed up impression of feminism.
It's literally a movement that seeks to gain equality for women. That's it. Gaining dignity is a large part of the movement!
There's no feminist creed that says "go out and have lots of sex". There are married feminists. There are asexual feminists. There are a lot of lesbian feminists.
I agree but like effective altruism, incel, and other such terms… the meaning in our culture is different now.
Effective altruism is about finding the most effective way to use your money/time to improve happiness for the most people. Yet everyone thinks it’s about crypto and AI singularity.
Incels are just involuntarily celibate people. But now everyone labels an incel as also someone who hates women and wants to be a mass murderer. Even though most men and women are all incels until they’re not! Most people are involuntarily celibate for some sustained period at some point in their life.
The way feminism is construed today is very much mixed up with identity politics and class division. It’s not just about pushing forward equality. I‘ve distanced myself being called a feminist due to the latest generations getting some whackass ideas and not actually unifying people but instead trying to segregate further and divide us up more.
For the downvoters, I'm going to paste the definition from the dictionary:
feminism (noun): the belief that women should be allowed the same rights, power, and opportunities as men and be treated in the same way, or the set of activities intended to achieve this state
(Cambridge Dictionary)
Not to mention the fact that the word dates from 1895, so it's not exactly some 'internet label'.
That is a definition that at first glance seems crystal clear, but then you realize it is meaningless, because everyone understands equality to mean something different.
