There are a number of definitions out there for the term "feminism." But feminism, at its purest base and the intent of its origination, was to bring about equality for all persons, regardless of gender. Over the years, there have been outliers who have hijacked it for their own grievances and agendas. I consider myself a feminist but I'm interested in equal civil rights for all people. I'm not a fan of the phrase "rape culture," and do think that men can get a raw deal in many areas of society. There is unfortunately a disconnect amongst feminists when it comes to agreement but that's in any group.
Not all Christians are sexist bigots but many are, for example. I don't necessarily solely blame the religion, as much as there are a number of factors as to why people behave as they do, good or bad.
Feminism has done far more good for women and society as a whole, than it hasn't.
We will always see bad apples though. The trick is to not broad brush an entire movement based on those bad apples.
Just my thoughts for now.
