I'm going to throw my two cents in:

I think a lot of self-proclaimed "feminists" use feminism only as a tool to prop their political careers, and that has done a lot of damage to the image of feminism... Sort of "we are a very feminist party, hence, everybody who opposes us are anti-feminists who should shut up...".

I have seen supposed "feminists" who made a big deal of men spreading their legs in public spaces to cheer and joke when they heard about Catholic nuns being raped, because, from their point of view, any Catholic deserves any horrible thing that could be done to them...

I have heard supposed "feminists" to defend a gang who pelted a woman with bricks during elections because the woman was further away in the political spectrum than the men doing the attack; their justification was "that woman was provoking these men by walking by a street where her party was hated...!".

I have heard these "feminists" express a seething hate towards any woman who has succeed in her career without paying them proper homage. How dare a woman who publicaly sympathizes with another party to become successful?!

These clearly don't care a bit about women, but about their own political success. Any woman who isn't a member of the party isn't considered a woman or even human...

And when these people become disliked, that dislike spreads to Feminism as a whole, because people come to see feminists as a bunch of hyporcrites.
