My beef with feminism is the lack of curiosity on the part of the feminists. Why does there need to be feminism? Why didn't our female ancestors fight against the unfairness? What is the reason for the unfairness and why was it maintained? Why is it only in the last century or so that it began to change?

My beef as such with feminism is that it is not a set of values or beliefs, or even a vague collective of sets of values and beliefs. It is (like many things these days) more like a Team. Wear your team colours (or t-shirt) and always support it is the main dictum. While I share many values and beliefs that can be described as feminist, I feel more comfortable with letting values and beliefs shape identity and not vice versa.
