Epic come backs to misogyny and anti-feminism

[HappyTuesday]

hey guys, I just want to hear what you say to individuals who insult your womanhood(or manhood, or genderfluid/neutral hood)
I know that when someone says feminism is just saying men are bad then you can one: give them the real definition
two: say no, but even if it was, don't you think it's time for some change of leadership? I mean, I could give a very long list of hasty generalizations and insults directed at women, but what do you have to defend your side of the argument?
three: tell them that, no, not really. they re just seeing extremists.

When I was at uni and a very forthright feminist, I used to get told with yawning regularity that 'feminists are men haters.' I used to look the man in the eye and say: 'Feminism has absolutely nothing to do with men. It's about women. It's not about you.' And i just kept repeating it until they got bored and walked away. But there was always at some point a look of blank astonishment on their faces that I was explaining that a major movement was not about men.

Of course, it's not true - it is in part about male oppression of women's rights but for me, the sole focus is on women - what we deserve versus what we have (pay gap; social rights etc); what we are capable of versus what we are told we are capable of (education and employment rights etc)
