Maybe my definition of the term "feminism" is flawed because of the country I live in (Romania). In here, feminism has taken a very narrow approach on things and has resulted in a lot more damage and frictions. In my country, the principles which western feminists fight for, are attributed to the neo-communist movement, while a lot of organizations calling themselves feminist, have taken a much darker approach on things.
For example, I lost my job because I used a sentence which contained the word "penis" to describe Romania's new cyber-surveillance law (Its something like PRISM meets Big Brother and spawn an unholy child, as combining this with the recently-introduced law which bans the criticism of politicians, gives the secret services the means to make dissenters disappear and silence the press), in a Facebook post. My (former) boss, who apparently keeps tabs on what people post on Facebook, has fired me for being a sexist pig, because I dared use a common slang word to describe my opinion on something which has nothing to do whatsoever with gender equality. In addition, she also threatened to sue me and promised to make sure I will never work in graphic design again, anywhere.
She also enforces lower wages on male employees and weekly mandatory "rape abstention" courses, in which male employees are being force-fed some bullcrap which states that all men are inherently rapists and we have to make efforts not to rape and cheat on our relationship partners (at the same time, promoting the idea that its ok for women to cheat on their partners and become violent).
Unfortunately, this kind of thing is becoming very common in this country. Another issue becoming very common is judges automatically declaring the "guilty" verdict, whenever a woman yells rape, often without looking at any of the evidence, whatsoever. The fact that some men do evil things, does not mean its ok for women to do the same. Trying to impose a social order according to which, women are entitled to do all of these things to men, because of some "right to vengeance" is stupid and wrong and is ruining this country. They should focus on promoting equality and discouraging lack of respect, violence and discrimination regardless of gender, instead of merely trying to reverse the roles.
Because of stuff like this, the male and infantile suicide rates, along with the rates of men divorcing their wives or breaking up with their girlfriends, have skyrocketed. Nowadays, instead of trying to reconcile, couples tend to break up more and more often, at the very first sign of disagreements, thus also resulting in a plummeting birth rate. On the other end of the spectrum, household violence has also increased. So what these "feminist" groups are doing is clearly not helping (its making the problem worse, actually).
Edit: Sorry about the grammar and spelling mistakes. Should be corrected now (I'm really, really tired)
