I just think like so many other movements in modern society, like the 99% and so on. It can be summed up with a hashtag. #FirstWorldProblems.
You'd have to be a bit of a dick to not want general gender equality. But modern feminism is pretty grating if you listen to it for more than 5 minutes. The fact most seem middle class and educated just makes it even more irritating as they are in the top 90% of privileged people on the planet. Many if not most places in the world have shocking women's rights issues. I wish they would go and fight the causes where they need to fought, instead of using internet blogs for writing streams of clichéd and whiney monologues about how oppressing it is to be an educated and financially comfortable woman living in western Europe or the US.
Also, men who feel threatened by empowered women need to get over it. empowered women DOES NOT equate to feminists.
