True Feminism = equality for all. These feminists fight not only for the rights of women, but for the rights of men, LGBTQ+ people, people of colour, and basically everyone who is treated as inequal. They will call out injustice when it is seen, and they will help to prevent it from happening again.
Radical Feminism = superiority for biological females. These "feminists" base their beliefs on the idea that, since men have ruled the world for thousands of years, it's their "turn". What once started as a small group of supporters has become a misandrist cult. These are the feminists that say "kill all men", and throw other people under the bus because they think it'll help them get further.
As you can see, feminism and radical feminism are very different. When people complain about feminists, they are 99/100 times complaining about radical feminists. Given how loud a minority these radfems are, it's no wonder that some people think that's all feminism is. But life isn't a zero-sum game, it's possible for everyone to move up, we don't need to put men down to raise up women or vice versa.
