Anyone raised by a feminist mother?

It's difficult to say

My mother was a self-proclaimed feminist, but she was a radical feminist. I mean radical to the point where even most other feminists would see her as hateful, (and would probably say "she wasn't a real feminist!")

Additionally, she was also physically and sexually abusive, and would say things like a boy's body is literally an extension of his mother's and therefore it was her right to do with him whatever she wanted. She believed women subjugating boys from a young age was the best way to make sure they didn't grow up to be violent men (even though statistically it's more like the opposite, as people abused as children as more likely to become violent than those not abused)

However since she was so extreme, I can't say that she represented feminists mothers in general. I think even feminist mothers who hate their sons probably usually aren't so explicit about it. More likely it's generally subtle brainwashing, teaching him that men are responsible for the world's violence, that he has to become a "good man" by taking responsibility for the wrongs of other men, that he should respect women but not teach him that he needs to make sure he's with a woman who respects him, that he should never hit a girl even if she attacking him, etc.

But I don't know for sure about other feminist mothers. All I know is that mine was a piece of shit

My mom isnt feminist or an mra but I think she has a slight bias towards men even though she had 2 shitty husbands. I think because shes a single mom she works her ass of and she tells me a lot of women in work force are sneaky or lazy
