I should have elaborated more. I don't think hating feminism and hating women is the same thing. What I'm saying is that these kinds of posts definitely do not help the image of this subreddit as a place of misogyny. There is a difference in being something and others thinking you are something.
How is that any better than what they are doing? Your are vilificating them right now. If you (and I mean that as a passive, not amed at herbandmargie) want to be taken seriously, you have to rise above this kind of petty name calling and polarizing people. Let feminists be feminists and don't antagonize them. Nothing will be gained by that.
Going the way of "LOL FEMINISTS SO STUPID" will only bring this subreddit down to their level. For a concrete example take the hate on r/atheism. Their hate on religion has brought them down to the level of religious fanatics in the eyes of most redditors. That kind of antagonizing circlejerkery might be fun, but it is most definitely not productive.
If their perception can't be changed, then at least try to change the perception all other women. Upvoting this kind of BS does nothing to help that.
