==== '''Feminists hate men, think women are better than men, and think women should have more power than men.''' ====
Women who seriously blame men for everything are known to readers of this wiki as [[Straw Feminist|Straw Feminists]] and to mainstream feminists as "wrong." Most feminists don't think sexism is primarily something all individual men do to all individual women -- the problem is ''patriarchy'', which is the name for the whole system of cultural ideas and institutions that function to oppress and control women. Women can -- and frequently do -- act in ways that support patriarchy, and men can -- and do -- fight patriarchy. The point of feminism (as much as such a vast and highly fragmented movement can be said to ''have'' a point) is to raise women to the level of rights/respect that men have had for centuries, ''not'' to drag men down to subhuman levels as some cosmic act of revenge.
==== '''Feminists think women are the ''only'' ones who are hurt by sexism, and don't care about men's problems.''' ====
