What does feminism have in common with the KKK?

I removed this post as its terminology is likely to harm the movement as a whole. Specifically, criticism of misandry does not need misandrists to be called some derivative of other hateful groups, movements, etc. Calling feminism "the gender kkk" doesn't really add anything whilst making anti-egalitarians feel validated in their opposition as they may inaccurately claim extreme statements like that to be representative of the subs values. In reality, it is irrelevant to our egalitarian =and by extension anti-misandristic) values whether "feminism is the gender kkk" or not. I would also strongly question the accuracy of the statement, given how general a statement it is. Even assuming there were some valid similarities (which I neither claim nor dispute), "some similarities" would not suffice to justify the aforementioned statement, which arguably implies the two to be effectively identical. It honestly does feel a bit like the wording was chosen for its shock-value more than its accuracy or contributions to any particular point.

It is fine to illustrate the differences in how hate is handled based on characteristics of perpetrator and victim. It is true that just pointing out hatred against men would unfortunately not evoke the same reactions that hatred against another demographic would. I do not believe that proclaiming feminism to "be the gender kkk" constitutes a suitable way to mitigate that, though.

It's downright frightening and disturbing how similar they are with the likes of the KKK, Neo-Nazis, etc. there's no different between them and white supremacists.

That’s a bit of a strong claim, not gonna help get people on our side. But i can think of a few similarities.
