Overall feminism did a lot to redress the hidebound traditional social conventions which reduced the ability of women to take part in and contribute to modern economy and society. Feminism in my opinion has resulted in a much more balanced society than the ones which existed 75 or 100 years ago.
But any movement has its fringes and excesses. We would still be in the stone age if fringes and excesses are allowed to damn any movement boradly in the beneficial direction.
This.
It's terrible what you and others have gone through but these people are not representative of the entire feminist movement, any more than the people who threatened to release naked pictures of Emma Watson after her speech at the UN are representative of the entire male population.
