This is probably because one person's definition of feminism is different from another person's definition of feminism as there have been several different feminist movements over the years. For example third wave feminism, standpoint feminism & post-feminism.
You see there's the problem, when a bunch of feminists are together the majority are assholes, then the very few TRUE feminists are left unseen. It makes me mad and I'm not even female
You can say that about any group of people- gather a group of people together and someone who is on the outside is going to not understand what they are talking about, So they are going to think them a bunch of elitist snobs. Any group being judged from the outside.

I actually meant to say that you could do it with any group of people but since this post was feminist related, and also I'm freaking out, YOU COMMENTED ON MY COMmENT:D I freakin love you saviourself:)
It's not about good and bad feminists since all feminists are bad. Feminism is redundant in the western world since women have equality of opportunity in all areas. Most people confuse equality of opportunity (being able to apply for a certain job) with equality of outcome (being paid the same as a man even if they are not as good at the job).
There isn't a whole lot of reporting on this issue- since (in America) the focus has moved to the unemployment problem. But the gap between what white men earn in a thriving economy and what women earn is very real, it's called the wage gap. Here is a bullet point article: http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/labor/news/2012/04/16/11391/the-top-10-facts-about-the-wage-gap/
That's American statistics, since you speak of the western world. Feminism is valuable and needed because there is still inequality. Just because things are better, doesn't mean they are good enough, guest.
