I don't think it's brigades, I think people just generally didn't like the tone. I didn't vote on this post but I did question the OP's experience and intent when asking so bluntly and describing it as "marginalization".
And more to the point, comments such as yours, which equate "feminism" with "misandry" are likely a bigger contributor to why people don't appreciate this post overall.
That comment didn’t equate them, but rather associated them.
And they are associated.
At the extreme ends, sure. But we can't discuss them as if they're representative of the general concept. I don't go around identifying myself as a feminist unprompted but I do believe in equality for all. And I don't see how that means us men will suddenly have to be second class next to women. It's equality, it's equal. I'm not suggesting we shift who's in power but rather we should balance it evenly.
Do you see where I'm coming from at all?
