The problem is in your first remake of the quote.

I don’t like being associated with anti-racism…

I support antisexism. You just equated feminism and antisexism, and the latter is a bigger category than the former.

Nothing wrong with feminism as a fight for women’s rights, but looking at mens’ problems through the prism of feminism is the same as looking at racism against whites through the prism of BLM, or apples through bananas. That’s simply the wrong tool.

There is feminism - about women. There is masculism (which is currently heavily discredited by patriarchal shitheads, but originally comes from the same place of equality as feminism) - about men. There are also nonbinaries fighting for their place in the world. And there is antisexism combining them all.

Source? You’re speaking with a lot of authority here and I’m not sure you fully know what you’re talking about. What you seem to be calling anti-sexism is often called intersectional feminism.

  It’s…in the name?
  
  But also sure, here’s the Cambridge Dictionary: dictionary.cambridge.org/us/…/anti-sexist

    How much do you know about feminism?

If someone calls themselves a feminist, but they don’t acknowledge the struggles men face under patriarchy, they can hardly be called a feminist.

  Sure, but I don’t think telling them so is a productive avenue for conversation.
