Because your support of feminism is genuine. Feminism's becoming more and more openly an anti-male ideology. If you were a woman I'd understand because it covers your issues, is popular, and puts you forward. But you, a man, supporting an ideology that chalks up every societal ill to men (Patriarchy) is like Ben Shapiro cozying up to Nazis, or like those trans for Trump people you used to see, or black guys who browse /pol/ (yes they exist). It's not that it's right or wrong or correct or incorrect, it's that you're supportive of something that hates you.

I'm genuinely curious about what you think when you see things like "it's not ALL men but it's ALWAYS MEN". Do you rebel or do you accept that your sex, and by extension you, are untrustworthy and violent?

I see what you're saying. It's all nomenclature for empty gotchas at the end of the day. It's not wrong that technically speaking the word 'feminists' is defined by believing in social equality between men and women but at the same time it would be foolish to ignore that the word has carried certain weight it with over the past few decades.

The same ones who would use it as a gotcha "You're not a feminist? That means you don't believe in equality." Are the same ones who they themselves don't believe in equality and are the reason that term carries so much weight in the first place. But most feminists I know outside of the internet understand the weight and wouldn't push others, especially men to declare themselves as feminists.

At the end of the day if someone asks I'll say "I believe in equality between men and women", not elaborate further and if they get offended for whatever reason then good. They deserve to be.
