Misandrists posing as feminists absolutely do exist. I actually lived with a few decades ago, back when women unfairly and even abusively criticizing men was considered more socially acceptable or even “cool” where I lived, and they were awful people. By definition, though, they’re not actually feminists and are thankfully uncommon amongst anyone familiar with and practicing feminism. It’s antithetical.
It’s kind of like people who don’t know much about socialism that tell everyone they’re socialists because they are in favor of government safety nets. Many people don’t actually know what socialism is (nor feminism, for that matter), so they don’t know these people are full of shit when they make these claims.
Which, notice how bell hooks’ book isn’t titled “Femin_ists_ Are for Everybody”.
Human beings are flawed to shit and no group or individual (not even bell hooks) should be put on a pedestal. Rather, it’s about finding the language and behaviors that do the most good at bringing equity and dignity for everyone.
(PS if you read up on feminist theory you get the added bonus of now being able to call tf out of the so-called feminists who uphold the patriarchy under a phony name. With peace and love. 😉)

You and @[email protected] are both correct.
