When thinking about it, the backlash came when an opportunist tried to create a political party around feminism...
Before that, we saw politicians in established parties trying to ride that hype wagon.
A pity such an important field has so much sh-t. To paraphrase a Swedish expression: Where pathos go in, reason go out.
Edit: On consideration, if you don't have honesty you don't have anything. There are so many more ways to be completely wrong than close to correct, so any flirting with idealists will generally create more damage than the idealists can ever solve. I'll take a stand on zero-tolerance of dishonesty. (That said, don't paint all feminists with the same brush. It is not like they are flat Earthers all of them.)
