It is widely thought to be anti-men. Most of the people do not know what feminism is and what does it stands for. They use this term as anti-men. This gender antagonism does nothing to advance the unfinished business of equality. A lot of anti-feminist folks make the argument that feminists believe that all men are evil. That is not true. Feminist is not someone who hates man. Anyone can be a feminist and you do not need to be politically active for that.
