When they complain about equality in the workplace, the glass ceiling and equal pay for equal work, I am all in favor of feminism.
When they talk about promoting a greater understanding of the problems of rape, stalking, sexual harassment and other sexually predatory crimes as well as problems of domestic violence, and how to better deal with them, I am all in favor of feminism.
When they seem to want men to not like sex so much, to not be so "visual", to not like looking at pictures of scantily clad beautiful young women, then feminism either needs to come up with a plan to fundamentally rework the way men's brains are biologically wired or get over it.
To address your 2nd sentence specifically if I could. Since I agree with your last point and disagree with your first point. A point in which you imply that feminism would help men in a poor workplace situation or whatever situation, I've yet to see that demonstrated. I'm not seeing feminists groups raise awareness for male rape, domestic abuse on men or sexual harassment on men or anything for men. Those issues are not taken as seriously in the justice system as when a female is raped or beat up for example. Which is why I'm dumbfounded people think Feminism empowers both genders equally then they ignore the other half of the population with penises.
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.
