I believe the reason you are saying what you are saying is because you haven't followed as precisely as I did the rise of 3rd wave feminism and SJWs and their power to demolish anyone or anything they believe is contrary to their beliefs.
my point isn't to say feminism baaad, but to show (what I've been trying to do for months) that 2nd/3rd wave of feminism isn't about equality but dominance,
we can discuss ad nauseum the number of girls that considers themselves feminists but aren't aligned with the views expressed by the loud voices of their movement. but that's for another time because..
(I believe) some people just can't accept that what they know about the public face of feminism is quite different to what some of the most vocal feminist are saying and have been saying for decades,the thing is you can not say I'm mixing a few subjects when those subjects are tied together at the roots (marxism/socialism) and have pretty much worked in parallel (PDF) http://www-a.ibit.uni-oldenburg.…
by the way you will note that the pdf is just a good introduction to feminism and in no way is critical to it,
another point, you say that those who view modern feminism are reactionary and social conservative, people who want to bring the women back to the kitchen (traditional pat. society). If you read some history, you will realize that for centuries the patriarchy kept men and women down and only a few at the very top could called themselves truly free, you will also see that a good majority of 1st, 2nd and 3rd wave feminists are upper class women (sorry for the rotk link, but it's a good summary http://www.returnofkings.com/816… ), and register to read some more here, http://www.jstor.org/discover/10… (excellent read btw, even if a little dated)
but ounce again I have to say that this has nothing to do with social change or wanting to keep women down, once you start delving into the material with a non biased mind where you can read the cons and not only the pros, you start seeing a completely different image of that movement.
