** Alice hates all men because she thinks [[PrivilegeMakesYouEvil their privilege makes then evil]]. Betty, a more reasonable feminist, points out that if Alice is in any way privileged herself (white, cishet, neurotypical, able-bodied, middle-class, etc), then by her own logic she should also think of herself as BeyondRedemption and incapable of truly supporting equality.

** Alice is such a fanatic, she ''does'' think of everyone who isn't simultaneously part of every minority group as evil. Including herself if she's part of any majority.

Added DiffLines:

** Alice acts like this because she's sick of being ignored, especially by men who won't acknowledge their privilege. She's grown to distrust all men as a defense mechanism, and thinks going to extremes is the only way to get her voice heard. Grossly misguided as her position is, [[FreudianExcuse there's a reason for it]].


Added DiffLines:

** More moderate feminists redeem the cause without alienating men in the process, for example they address how gender norms hurt everyone.
** Alice may be acting from a place of deep frustration, but others still rightly point out that [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse it doesn't justify bullying men, or women who don't subscribe to her extremist feminism]]. Nor does it change the fact that [[DontShootTheMessage she's doing more to harm than help the feminist cause]].

** Alice is presented as a naïve, ill-informed imbecile who represents every possible stereotype of feminism. Bonus points if she fits both the stereotypes of being a slut ''and'' a prude at the same time. [[note]]If you're wondering how this is possible: Alice approves of ''ugly'' women being slutty, but considers attractive women being slutty to be misogynistic exploitation of women's bodies. Alternatively, she approves of ''real-life'' women both ugly and attractive being slutty, but despises any depiction of female sexuality in fiction, because fictional characters can't make that choice for themselves, the ([[MostWritersAreMale presumed straight male]]) creators "force" it on them, which she considers akin to rape. Alternatively, overlaps with the aforementioned, she approves of SassyBlackWoman or other races being slutty both real-life and fictional as long as they act bold and sassy (bonus point if they also wear UncannyValleyMakeup), but considers white and [[MightyWhiteyAndMellowYellow East Asian women]] being [[CovertPervert cute]] and slutty to be misogynistic MaleGaze exploitation, especially when being drawn in {{Moe}} style.[[/note]]
