That similar tactic is used by ************* who try to discredit the concept of organized labor because some labor unions got corrupted by organized crime.
They try to sell us the 'we must throw out the baby with the bathwater' theme because they can point to criminal/evil actions taking advantage of the situation.
The video is playing this same game with feminism, pointing out evil actions by evil people and then concluding therefore feminism must be no good.
Feminism is still a good thing, a noble thing despite the evil who would exploit it.
You shouldn't buy into someone discrediting a philosophy or political ideology because they can point to a criminal element that can/will exploit it. That opportunity to exploit/corrupt always exists. Criminals always exist.
P.S. If you buy into this logic what does it say about the stock market?
