Black Feminism (Intersectionality)

Lipstick Feminism

Hypocrisy
Feminism has often been criticized for lack of consistency. While Feminism is staunchly opposed to racism against minority's it condones and even denies racism against white people. Similarly are their views on sexism and rape, while Feminism is against Misogyny and female rape it is not against Misandry and male rape. Feminism has been accused of going against its own principles and condoning women being raped as long as it wasn't a white man. This also apply to how Feminism treats Islam in comparison to Judaism or Christianity.

Censorship
Feminists have been accused of using censorship as a means of silencing their opponents. Either by blocking them or having them no platformed at events and using harassment to keep them silent. Ironically this is what feminists accuse others of doing and is considered a form of projection.

Irrelevency
With Feminist goals met in the western world many argue that Feminism is no longer relevent in the west. Feminism has been accused of bringing non feminist issues into feminism. Race and LGBT issues are considered non-feminist issues because of it's own definition.

Being the institution (the man)
Feminism often portrays itself as a brave group fighting against a sexist world. This is unfortunately not the case. Feminism has become the establishment, the powerful, oppressive force. Feminists are accused of clinging onto the belief that they are oppressed instead of holding the most power in society. This has caused non-feminists to question their motives, and even their sanity.
