Of course I realise that this is generalising a lot of feminists, and I'm sure that there are many good feminists out there. Some points of fem\n*sm are completely valid - domestic violence for example. However, even this is 70% women to men. Overall it is a problem and should be addressed-. These are just some of the points regarding fem*n*sm which I find stupid/hypocritical.*
The word for woman equality along with other things has been censored to prevent annoying automod false positives.
Etymology
First thing first, a lot of people claim fem*n*sm is equality for all genders when this simply isn't true, it's just the most prominent gender-equality movement. You don't need to be an etymology to see that fem**n**sm clearly has the root word feminine in it, indicating that it is equality for females, not all genders. People who can't understand this fact and call it equality for all really rustles my jimmies. The word you're looking for is Egalitarian.
Pay Gap
This is one thing which really rustles my jimmies. 'Pay gap'. Paying 1 gender more than another is Illegal. I recognise that men do get paid more on average, however there are valid reasons for this. The reason why women on average have reduced pay is pregnancy and a reduced tendency to ask for raises. This of course is a fault on the women who don't ask for pay raises, why should men have to suffer for it. Solutions for the pay gap include female - only programmes which are flat out sexist and should be illegal for discrimination (such as the Oxford female-only scholarships). It almost appears as though they aren't seeking for equality, rather seeking to reverse gender roles. In fact, 99% of construction workers are men. Where are you women, why aren't you applying for a job which is actually in relatively high demand? The truth is, majority don't want laborious menial tasks, you are leaving it to men, and then you complain about not getting certain STEM jobs.
Body Positivism
I acknowledge that some people due suffer with forms of body image disturbance, or body dysphoria. For example anorexic people. They should obviously be helped and taught that their bodies are beautiful.
Another topic brought up by feminists (mostly by radical ones though) is body positivist. It is straight up a fetish at this point. Sure I body acceptance and positivist is a good thing. However, obesity is not beautiful. According to statistics, obesity strains public services by an estimated $190 B in the US. These land whales are delusional if they truly believe that they are beautiful. They need to lose weight, not reach an early demise due to the echo chambers of circle jerks they are in. It's even worst when they go after actual healthy people, bullying them. There are many AITA posts on reddit where tubs of lard harass people they consider 'twigs' and then have temper tantrums when they are retaliated against verbally. Sure some cultures might have found obesity a beautiful thing thousands of years ago when it indicated being well fed. This of course would be millennia ago during neolithic times.
Hate Towards The Mens Rights Movement and 'Gender Roles'
Here is the perfect TED Talk video to summarise what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WMuzhQXJoY
In summary for those who aren't watching the video however, there are some feminists who see gender equality as a dick measuring contest. Yes, women do suffer from domestic abuse, but so do men. Paternal custody is much rarer than maternal custody. Why is this? This is a problem which should be addressed. One reason for it is gender roles (which ironically is exactly what fem**n**sm seeks to fight). Furthermore, men commit suicide on average 4 times more than women. Why is this? Again, gender roles (irony again). If a man was to cry or express emotion, most of the time he would be told to man up, causing them to avoid opening up again. Whereas, if a woman was to cry, she would be unconditionally comforted, regardless if she was in the wrong. For example, in domestic abuse cases called by the husband against an abusive wife, the male is almost always arrested.
These problems highlighted above are just some of the points the MRM is advocating for. Some feminists don't acknowledge these problems and act extremely misandrogynistic. Infact, even on reddit misandrognyistic is a word which doesn't exist in their dictionary compared to misogynistic. Screen shot proof: http://prntscr.com/prhb5i. Some feminists like to paint themselves the victim always. For example, if the point of male suicides would be brought up, rather than thinking : "That's a problem. We should fix it."
They would think, "So? Women are more likely to x and suffer from x much more" etc. This of course puts down real feminists and simply makes fem**n**sm as a movement appear shallow.
Here is a documentary on fem**n**sm in Israel : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahZTWBB26Cw .
There was another one highlighting a woman threatening a taxi driver that she would falsely accuse him of rape if he didn't let her get off without paying the driver. The only reason why this taxi driver isn't in jail now is a dash cam. Even then, the woman got off scot-free. Rape allegations can straight up ruin peoples lives and careers: see 'Yamimash' and 'Tobuscus'. Women usually get away with it whilst men suffer. Israeli gender rules sexistly favour women.
Radical Fem**n*sts and T**RFS
One extremely disgusting subreddit is 📷r/FemaleDatingStrategy. You should check it out to see live examples of toxic fem**n*sm. Firstly, what is radical fem*n**sm? According to google:
Radical fem**n*sm is a perspective within fem*n**sm that calls for a radical reordering of society in which male supremacy is eliminated in all social and economic contexts. Radical feminists view society as fundamentally a patriarchy in which men dominate and oppress women
The existence of a 'patriarchy' as a looming threat over them, almost like Big Brother is so sad that it isn't even comedic at some points. I don't wake up at mornings, drink my coffee pondering how I can oppress females in society, that's just ridiculous. Some radical feminists seek to enact a 'matriarchy' almost where men would be oppressed as revenge. This of course is impossible, and would achieve inflating their ego if nothing else. The fact that they are in a vacuum chamber, feeding into each others insecurities and ignoring opinions they disagree with doesn't help either. These radical feminists are exactly the type of women that, instead of acknowledging male problems such as a lack of male-only safe spaces compared to women-only safe spaces, would assert that they deserve it for being part of the patriarchy or something.
I won't even address T***RFs. They are disgusting.
On the topic of 📷r/FemaleDatingStrategy , it is a subreddit which demonstrates extreme misandry. If you go on their pinned topic, you would know what I mean ; encouraging cuckoldry, cheating and polygamy since the males deserve it. Their main point is to never pay for dinner, and to let the male pay for it. This of course is sexist and goes against fem**n**sm (it isn't creating equality, it's just favouring 1 gender to an extreme). One of the main reasons for this is because women put on make up, perfume, dresses, etc. This is flawed logic because A) men also purchase expensive clothing, colognes, etc and B) No one asked you to dress up nicely. If anything, you should be dressing for yourself, not for the approval of men.
Here are some screenshots of their disgusting discord server, condolences to my friend for infiltrating:

Conclusion
A few bad apples ruin the whole barrel.
This quote really does apply here. I am an egalitarian and I do agree with fem**n**sm as a concept and the majority of the movement, however some bad aspects of it really does ruin it. These points are just some of what I disagree with. There is much more out on the internet pointing out discrepancies.Please do comment below, prove me wrong, whatever.

Women do not dress slutty for halloween. You aren't empowering women, you are presenting negative connotations and negatively affecting children trick or treating. Thank you.
