" But Brownstein feels that the current definition of feminist is so broad and encompassing that everyone can feel comfortable identifying with the term."
but they don't feel comfortable identifying with the term, so maybe you should listen and accept that feminist no longer has the monopoly over the womens rights movement.
"a holdover from a time where feminism seemed “anti-man or anti-fun or had an overly academic quality to it that is off-putting.”"
it's a holdover because many prominent feminists are anti-male and in fact the implicit exclusion of male from the word feminism itself is anti-male. in a world where women and both face sexism and rights issues, feminism is no longer a relevant word outside of people who are only concerned with womens issues. And of course the trite response from feminists to that view would be "but people are always concerned about men and their rights anyway" well that's interesting because women are not required to sign the selective service draft register and nobody is attending that inequality, there are many issues I could go into. and its because feminism has spent so much time convincing women that there is some major inequality against them, and telling men they are "privileged oppressors" that very few people understand the inequalities faced by men. Feminism is ignorance.
