I wrote up a whole lot of shit and decided it was too much bullshit so I'll just sum it up. From what I've seen:
Current feminism is just trying to control women, the exact opposite of what it should be doing
Current feminism is harmful to both men and women in the same way the so called "patriarchy" is, and we need to be taking a different approach even though that's difficult since all political movements tend to devolve to be kyriarchal in the end anyways
I like some of those things they're doing in commercials and stuff where they're encouraging little girls to be more varied in their skill sets and not only focusing on dolls and sparkles though. That's very good. We need more of that.
I... actually can't pinpoint any specific feminist leaders because most of what I've seen was in passing, or shown in ideals held by very large groups of people. When an ideal is that wide spread, it usually trickled down by a leader or someone else in a position of power, OR it's spread along like telephone. I know a lot of the more menial issues with current feminism came from Tumblr bullshit, but that doesn't mean it should be dismissed. Tumblr's toxic ideals have seeped out into the real world on more than a few occasions.
