I feel the same as you. I was part of feminist circles for a while, and while I really liked a lot of those people, I saw a lot of exclusion, backstabbing, and jockeying for power, all while talking like none of us could possibly do any of that. It was like we said a whole bunch of pretty stuff about intersectionality and power-sharing and this and that, but the minute someone stepped a hair out of line we relished attacking them. I'm sad to say I joined in, and glad to say I no longer choose to be a part of those circles.

Does that "make me antifeminist," if the definition of "antifeminist" is "someone who believes sexism is awesome?" No, but it does make me leery of a movement that seeks to recruit by twisting words and then getting upset that "people think 'feminist' is a bad word! O WOE!" rather than asking why that impression might be so widespread.

NAYRT

Well, a lot of political parties also work that way. No dissenting voices allowed, and lots of power-hungry people (at least, in political parties with a clear line its members are supposed to follow).

That's why I have so far refused to get involved in political associations and movements...
