I have no problem with the idea behind feminism. Just like any other group they have incredibly vocal idiots, however a higher percent of feminists seem to be like that than in most other groups.
I have a friend who is a feminist and we have some fantastic discussions. Once she brought up the topic of comedians making jokes at the expense of females. I told her to lighten up and asked her how equality would work if females were exempt from humor. After that she brought up the portrayal of females in comic books, which is outside of my area of expertise. I started to explain it as selling to your target audience, but she was getting frustrated with me for disagreeing so I stopped. I'm glad I did because I'm not entirely sure it was a good point to make.
