BadWolf - I agree with a lot you say actually, especially the part about not separating into two factions battling one another. This does no one any good.
However, you did entitle the thread "why I am so passionate about speaking out against feminism", then go on to say that "I don't exactly know how to define feminism". If you're going to criticise something, you need a very clear idea of what it is that you are criticising.
You are most likely speaking out against what you perceive to be Feminism, rather than the reality. In some cases the two may coincide, like in your incident, however I think mostly this isn't the case.
