However, I don't think the way you define "feminism" is intrinsically more correct than other definitions, and even as a feminist, I don't think you get to define a specific kind of feminist to be representative of all. The truth is that anyone is a feminist whose ideal world view includes an improved position for females relative to the current social reality. This may include just basic liberties around the world, or full legally-enforced equality in the developed countries, or a global matriarchy that will survive for a thousand years.

No, because feminists are against and repeal, criticize, not only male sexual assault in prison but also how society doesn't take male rape seriously.

And as I have already said, feminists are against those laws that benefit them

Again being rude to me is not evidence for anything, nor your lack of knowledge on feminism is, you're part of the reason feminists get no credit - Because as soon as one of them gives good arguments why something can be sexist a guy like you spits out something like "Oh shut up just enjoy it don't be a prick" and dismiss what people have to say.

If you had any intelligence, you'd know feminism is about equality for females, males, trans, people without gender and everyone. Your ignorance or disagreement doesn't change the definition, the fact you don't like it doesn't change the concept either.
The problem here is that the liberal moderates you are talking about are probably not the kind of feminists that the "anti-feminists" in the OP are positioning themselves against. You are trying to make it look like any anti-feminist must be anti-women, or even anti-common-sense, but that's both insulting and a little hypocritical. As I pointed out earlier, I think both atheists and anti-feminists are fighting against the imposition of "right" thinking by those who feel entitled to make that imposition. It's about the degree to which any "-ism" has the right to dictate what we are supposed to think, feel or believe.
