How about some hard evidence?

Narcissists may engage in feminist activism to satisfy their grandiose tendencies, study suggests (psypost.org)

Anecdotally there is a very strong correlation. I thought about this a while ago when dealing with psychologists/psychiatrists, majority of which were female. I recall sitting there thinking how ironic it was that they couldn't see this aspect of their own personality.

One of them actually said the line: "people think COVID is infecting the world but the REAL plague is narcissism!". The irony that she was oblivious to her own very pronounced narcissistic world view was amusing.

Then again I noticed the same exaggerated self importance in almost all mental health types I have dealt with so it may be the field itself...

Every ideology has narcissists that use it as a cudgel to get what they want. Yes even men’s rights.

Narcissism is incredibly common in women though so I’d assume feminism has a larger fraction just because it’s composed of mostly women.
