They think all women (except themselves of course) are these helpless beings that are easily controlled by “deh evul patriarch!!1” and aren’t aware of their own oppression.

feminism is often about actively discouraging society’s messages that women are helpless beings that need to rely on others for support and protection

They look at women who don’t think the same way as them as women who are suffering from Stockholm syndrome and just need to be “enlightened”.

most feminists attempt to examine social issues as a whole without placing blame on individuals for choices (like: examining the issues that hold women back from advancing in the work place, like the belief that they should be at home with their kids/will get pregnant and aren’t worth training, while also, at the same time, promoting the welfare of women who do choose to/are able to stay at home).  But feminism does protest social coercion when necessary, yes.

So many things wrong that thinking. One, the feminist are extremely high-minded who think they are above these others women and feel its their duty to “rescue” them.  Two, they look down on women who don’t think like them, so that makes them arrogant and three, saying these women aren’t aware of their own oppression is sexist against men because then that makes all men responsible to contributing to women’s “oppression”.

I’d be interested in sources for this.   I’m not going to deny that some sections of feminists go the wrong route and get patronizing on people, especially those from other walks fn life, but I’m wondering how much of your analysis is based on actually reading what feminists have to say, and how much is relying on a social stereotype of feminists to make your case since these are all vague generalities.

They always gotta find a way to blame men somehow.

Not everything is about men just because it is sometimes focused on women and providing women with more choices.   I mean… that’s kind of the point.  Most people realize that we’re all contributing, to some extent, to social conventions of gender roles and sexism, and that sexism existing doesn’t mean that men (or anyone) are actively/consciously seeking to oppress women.  And a lot of feminist discussion isn’t even about sexism and gender roles, that’s just a part of the overall scope.
