If there's one thing I dislike about 3rd wave feminism, it's the apologists who try and claim that people like me who have an issue with gender feminism are just trying to hold up old feminists and/or radical feminists and ignoring 'real feminism'.

The issues that men like me have with feminism nowadays (and I want to make that distinction clear) is because of how we've personally been treated by feminists.

There's a clear difference between equity feminism and gender feminism, and there are atleast a few notable feminists who no longer identify with 3rd wave feminism for this very reason.

For the record, I'm no more keen on MRA then feminism, the very idea of stepping to 1 side or other of that gender dividing line is repulsive to me. There are inequities in or society that need to addressed, not because they're gender issues, but because they're people issues.
