Feminism is too broad I think to say "I don't like it"
I think you can still be pro-women while disliking certain radical elements of the feminist movement. Feminists are too diverse to say "I don't like feminism" in my opinion. I love feminism and consider myself totally pro-women on the basic definition of equality for women, but that doesn't mean I think every feminist is right on every issue all the time. The problem is some self-labelled feminists see any disagreement (especially from men but also from other women) as anti-women even if their opinion really isn't.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
