I read your response to why feminism is viewed as a "women's power over men" type thing and it's been one of the most enlightening I've seen by far. But don't you think that one of the biggest reasons it's confused is because its relation to the word "feminine"? Ignorant people refuse to get behind feminism just because the name sounds like what we would call "misandry". I would love to hear what you have to say on the matter

I think people do have that misconception and that that misconception makes them not want to identify as feminist if that’s what they think feminism means. 

But really, I think that it’s patriarchy, not feminism, that causes that misconception. Patriarchy is a system of control, so when people hear that feminism is fighting against patriarchy, they assume that they’re basically the same type of words, just with a different gender in charge. 

My point is that that kind of thinking is patriarchal. It’s dominant, oppressive, aggressive, etc. 

We need to be clear that Feminism is not the opposite of Patriarchy. It does not replace the patriarchy by trading one oppression for another, but rather works to dismantle the systems of oppression all together by lifting up those who have been oppressed to a state of freedom, autonomy, and mutual respect.
