Not everyone hates anyone. Stupid headlines do not facilitate civil discourse. Nor does personalization or sweeping under a single banner describe the many disparate issues these rubrics contain. For instance, one might dislike a feminism of equality, which posits that any woman ought to be able to do anything any man can,

If you take your time browsing this thread the idea a woman should NOT be equal to a man (in modern western societies) is not too popular. The idea feminists NEVER seem to fight for their female comrades rights where they are being abused all over the world is a common idea on this thread...

Well often the activists championing the plight of the people in oppressed countries point a finger at those in the western ones as the oppressors responsible for the situation. To take up that banner would force them to label themselves as an oppressor by nature of being born in a more wealthy country. This would cause a great deal of mental anguish due to cognitive dissonance. These individuals have spent years viewing themselves as oppressed by some imagined patriarchy. To switch caps would simply be too much to ask.
