As such, one cannot support all types of feminism at the same time. The FeministWiki is for people who adhere to a relatively straightforward and classical interpretation of feminism: the liberation of female people from male supremacism. This is sometimes called ''radical feminism'' because male supremacism is a radical notion for many people, and its elimination requires radical changes to society. | ||

Women are then exploited for reproductive and domestic labor, men's sexual gratification, and more. Male supremacism also causes collateral damage to some men and boys. For instance, effeminate boys and gay men are often targeted with severe punishment for failing to uphold the myth that men are inherently masculine. | ||
