Feminists, interpret the meaning to suit their agenda, whatever that may be. The majority do want equal rights for the sexes, but since, in many ways, women are those who have been denied equal rights, the primary goal is to get those rights for women, after all, it's predominantly women leading the movement.
There are extremists in the group, who hate men. Those are a minority and not representative of the movement as a whole. They just happen to be the ones who get all the publicity.
You should read what you say, and then keep readng it until you recognize just how hysterically similar your arguments are to the Muslims who insist their reiligion is of peace, and only a fringe minority among them condone violence against anybody who disagrees with them. Fact is that every single Muslim accepts the Quran with less filtering than the typical Christian (60% hold a literalist view of their bible and believe the earth was created in 65 days), and no Muslims have stepped forth to condemn the stoning of adulterous women (this can only happen to women by Islamic law), and none of them condemn any of the violence which is being practiced by al Quaida, Taliban, or ISIS.
What you call yourself does in fact matter, and a lot more than you would think it does. Call yourself something which does in fact include everyone, and you would have my full support (so long as you live up to what it says of you, and I believe you would do that more easily based on that alone).
Wow, really?
Comparing a group who want equal rights for women, including Muslim women, to Muslim extremists?
What's next? Dropping the Hitler bomb?
Okay so because there are extremist, women hating men, then all men fall into their agenda because they all happen to have the same genitalia?
Gotcha.
