I disavow the ignorance displayed in the statement that “Feminists always think women are better than men.” But felt important to share how well received such a message is received on this site.

People will conveniently skim the subtext and skip to the true parts when the text, when taken as a whole, confirms their own biases.

A lot of people see feminism as a "women are better than men" take. It's not, that's radfem, feminism is about equality despite the name as it has roots in the suffragettes movement.

They certainly have a misunderstanding of what most people mean when they call themselves feminists. My point was it's not as bad as it could be since they don't demonize what feminism actually is. They think everyone is on an equal level even if they don't have a positive opinion of everyone. I would say misusing a term is not really that bad when they could have said a lot worse like actually saying something along the lines of "women bad." Which I didn't really get that from their post, but perhaps I misunderstood their intentions.
