There isn't a standard, but the prevalence of the "crazy" feminists and MRAs can't just be ignored. They are extremely vocal, and that reflects badly on the feminist movement in general. At this point, if someone tells me they are a "feminist", they could very well fall into several different sub-types. There's massive disagreements within feminism regarding sex positivity, to use one example.

Sure, but that's the main goal. Equality under the law and equality in society (one could argue they are the same thing).

Ban me if you don't like it.
You've yet to demonstrate that.
Also we don't ban people here for voicing disagreements, there would be nobody left on the forum, so you'll forgive me if I ignore your attempt to get a rise out of me.

Why do you insist on playing the race card?
You think I'm an alt-right sympathizer? Now you really are being hilarious.
I don't insist on playing the race card, I'm just used to feminists using it against me (and the sex card) to somehow discredit what I'm saying.
