I actually agree with this comic, feminism has been hijacked by career sociopaths who treat misandry as a guiding principal, but it's sexist to talk about that.

I'm not saying that equality between the sexes or women's liberation is inherently bad, but we need to ask if we're demonizing men and if men deserve it, and the answers are yes and no.

That's not to say women are not in danger of sexual violence, we're the primary targets of it, but surely we can't just write off an entire group as being.... characterized specifically by this behavior.

I wouldn't say that misandrists qualify as "feminist"

From https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/feminism:

feminism - noun - belief in and advocacy of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes expressed especially through organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests

But many of them claim they are feminists and are welcomed in because giving a test to prove it would be insensitive
