People have such bad attitudes toward feminism because it challenges their core beliefs that were essentially given to them by their own subconscious ignorance.

If believing that helps you sleep at night then okay.
Feminism gets a bad rap from all the radicals and feminazis around that hates all men and want to cut their dicks off. They are 2,000 times more vocal than the other side of feminism where it is supposed to be all about equality.
There is just a spectrum within fourth wave feminists even among the sex positive feminists and the ones that want to shame woman for being sex workers.
There is also the divide between those feminists that are anti-trans people and those that support them.
The worst sides of feminists have been tending to get a huge spotlight on it lately and THAT's where the negative associations come from.
