Y’all keep downvoting Imp every time he says something, and that post on Gaza houses got me thinking, because I’m genuinely curious. Currently, society is in situation where the majority of visible feminists are affluent white female liberals (AWFLs), but this is a question that needs answering in my opinion.

Feminism in some form was always going to emerge from a liberal society. You can't build a society around "equality...but not for those people because reasons" and expect that to remain stable.
Some of the anti-feminists around places like this are only anti-feminists because they blame women for getting in the way of liberalism's false promises to deliver the freedom for them to live their lives as they choose, unshackled by any social expectations and with an unlimited marketplace of products to indulge them. They don't understand that liberalism is built on a lie. If it weren't feminism in your way, it would just be (and to a large extent, is) something else.
What are we even talking about when we talk about feminism then? Some are saying women's suffrage. Others are discussing later thinks like Critical Theory.
