1. Seems like a stupid attempt to demonize a word

Like demonizing "liberal", the people that make these sorts of memes are just trying to make "Feminist" a BAD THING to be.

I personally find it stupid and offensive, but I AM a Feminist and a Liberal (and an Atheist), so I'm pretty used to people trying to demonize a word that I identify with. I'm not going to stop using that word to describe myself just because someone else wants to make me seem like a bad person. I know I'm a good person... and I'm also a Feminist, a Liberal and an Atheist.
