It is completely different from feminism. Where as we condemn each other constantly when we think we're wrong on issues, feminism doesn't do that. At least christians condemn the westboro baptist church. Where are the feminists condemning the actions of groups like the one in the video above? They will do anything to further their agenda, they don't care about hypocrisy or intellectual honesty or even facts. Whereas atheists do.There are, they simply aren't well known notable people, but I've read comments on other atheist forums of people defending measures like banning religion, so those people exist and are a minority. Since when are feminists pushing agendas? Feminists have been pushing gender equality and pro-equality social values only, that's the only thing they do, feminazis shouldn't be associated with the entire feminist movement. There aren't any feminists bombing places or committing genocide in the name of feminism
Feminists condemn feminazis and misandry, but since you've probably never read a feminist work, or a feminist blog, or talked with a rational feminists who favours equality, you think it's wise to stereotype them all - In fact I've said it already that feminists want to fight for issues that harm men more than women and don't want female privileges - I'm assuming this because if you had done it, it would be extremely irrational to make that kind of assumptions about most feminists - And since you seem to be a reasonably smart person I take it that you would probably change your mind by simply taking time to read and hear the opinion of equality feminists rather than caring only about the minority of feminazis.
So what actually is their agenda other than gender equality? Do you really believe the conspiracy theory that feminists want female dominance over man? Give me a break, society is dominated by males, from politics to the media and executive offices, no one will subjugate us because we are men, chill... Instead be happy that you won't have to worry about having a 1/4 chance of suffering sexual violence, or that you will make on average more money than women, even in the same job position, or that there aren't governments passing laws to control your body, or that the media respectfully represents various types of characters (male) with different complex personalities instead of making the value of them depend on boobs and ass.
