This article written by Emily Shire perfectly highlights the point that feminists are often misunderstood. She explains that men and a lot of women don't support the aim of feminism, but only because they have not fully grasped the concept of it.
The Women Against Feminism campaign has seemed to attract a number of people. 'The Tumblr started in the summer of 2013. The Facebook group, which was created in January 2014, has 12,000 likes'. This suggests that it's more than just a few people who have lost their way that support this movement. Even singer and public idol Katy Perry said 'I am not feminist, but I do believe in the power of women.' She recently changed her view after learning and realising the real aims of feminists. 'At its most core basic level, feminism is about equality between the sexes, not advancing one over the other.'
So, the overall opinion of this article seems to be that anyone and everyone that believes in equal rights between men and women is a feminist. 'People do not realize you can be a feminist and pro-life. You can be a feminist and a stay-at-home mom. You can be a feminist and disagree with the birth control mandate of Obamacare.'
