Part of the problem might be the word “feminist”. Even today, I’ve observed very negative reactions to it from both men and women – even women whose lives embody the very concept of feminism. As someone who was around during the inception of the movement, I find this disturbing and challenge it whenever possible. If you do some research, this taint was no accident. There was a strong political backlash that set out to deliberately trivialize and discredit the movement. For example, the famous “bra-burning” that never happened, and the label “bra-burner” that followed.
Might make for an interesting discussion once you’ve found a way to circumvent the “F” word.
