Why so many "anti-feminists" in the atheist community?

RE: Why so many "anti-feminists" in the atheist community?
Quote:You added the modifier 'gnostic' to atheism. Hence, the definition of gnostic-athiest is not the same as atheist. However, I don't see a conflict because you still lack a belief in god.
I don't, I know god doesn't exist, it's not a lack of belief, rather I possess knowledge - Please let's not discuss this and go off topic.


Quote:The word 'feminism' has an inherent weakness that implies female centered. This is why the feminazi have so much traction. If they didn't, I would be perfectly happy to call myself a feminist.
so are you saying that you adopt positions depending on the word used to describe them? Thinking It's female centred because it's meant to fight gender inequality, but that doesn't dismiss the fact feminists care about men's issues, and gays, trans, people of all races, animals and so on - That's the so called intersectional feminism, that deals with other subjects as well. I think the word has it's roots back in the XX and late XIX century, and they just kept the word as it was back then - But it's not the word that matters, rather the ideology. Imagine that feminism was called egalitarianism from the beginning and that there were feminazis in the egalitarian movement advocating female superiority - Would you stop being one because of them? I guess the answer is no - Same logic applies to feminism. Let's say feminists start calling the movement egalitarianism - Would you associate with them?
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
