I wholeheartedly agree that the definition of feminism has changed, and the victim-complex is widespread throughout the whole organization, even if no one cares to address the issue.
With the said the oppression of women is real, and denying it is being ignorant of an entire genders suffering.
Obviously women's struggles aren't as prevalent in first world countries. However, in many developing counties (ex: majority of the Middle East) women are considered subhuman and are treated as such.
I suppose I myself must rethink of considering myself as a feminist, as the word does appear to have negative stigma in society nowadays. I consider myself a humans right activist, and believe in what the original intent of feminism was.
I would not say the oppression of women is real unless you are talking about third world countries, and I would believe that thinking so is the ignorant path. I'm open to discussion on the matter, however.
Also, I would consider distancing yourself from feminism. I won't force you to take on any labels, that's your choice, but feminism in itself has recieved a negative stigma for a reason. However, if you do hold on to feminist beliefs, then stand by the title that explains your beliefs, because having the beliefs of something but claiming another title is not enough to fool people.
