Yes, some on Tumblr and on various college campus's project problematic versions of feminism, but by rejecting all of feminism because of this small population is unfair and problematic.

You use the phrase "problematic" a lot in this thread. Can you please define what you mean by it? You acknowledge that the feminism espoused on "various college campus's" is "problematic", then you say that rejecting feminism is "problematic". Is there a way to criticize and not define yourself as a feminist without being "problematic"? Or is rejecting feminism, as well as espousing the wrong kinds of feminism, inherently "problematic"?

You can define yourself outside of feminism, but while doing so you reject the inherent tenet that feminism promotes: equality for women.

Fundamentally, regardless of if you agree with some people's use of the word feminism, or how some people act under the flag of feminism, if you do not define yourself in favor of gender equality, which is feminism, you are going to find yourself on the side of people who reject gender equality.

No, that is false. I do not identify as a feminist but I do support gender equality.

My views seem to be in line with those of most people in the US, in fact: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/16/feminism-poll_n_3094917.html

Broken down by party, 32 percent of Democrats, 19 percent of independents and only 5 percent of Republicans said they are feminists.

But asked if they believe that "men and women should be social, political, and economic equals," 82 percent of the survey respondents said they did, and just 9 percent said they did not. Equal percentages of men and women said they agreed with that statement, along with 87 percent of Democrats, 81 percent of independents and 76 percent of Republicans.

I don't know if I agree with "all the main tenets of feminism".

For example, is the concept of a "rape culture" existing in the US a "main tenet" of feminism? If you read feminist scholarship, it seems to be, however I disagree with it. I don't think the US is a "rape culture", nor do I think the existence of things like rape jokes are evidence that we live in a "rape culture" as some feminist scholars argue. Same goes for the concept of "patriarchy". I don't think these ideas are accurate ways of understanding reality today in the US.

I've read a decent amount of feminist scholarship and I disagree with much, but not all, of it. That's why I don't identify as a feminist. I believe in gender equality, but I think feminism as an ideological movement has certain wrong-headed ideas that seem to be held by many scholars within it.

Here's a comment I made to someone else who asked the same question: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/3yaq2h/i_am_noah_j_springer_phd_and_i_recently_published/cyc8amb

...no matter how anonymous we are and how free our speech is on reddit, we are still not accessing the entire market of ideas because people actively choose not to come here and ad there alternative voices into the mix because of the very anonymity and free speech enforced by the neoliberal discourse on the site.

What does 'the entire market of ideas' mean? Can you give an example of a web forum (or place in real life) that does contain 'the entire market of ideas'? If I'm understanding your argument correctly, it seems like you believe anonymity and free speech (ideas you call "neoliberal") are preventing reddit from having more diverse viewpoints on the whole. Can you give some suggestions on what you think would be a more effective alternative than the current system?
