Then I'll answer since apparently it's personal :)
I do believe that men and women should be treated with equal respects (when they deserve it), and have equal rights (which is already the case in Western countries). I don't agree that this should be called "feminism", but english is not my native language so maybe I'm more sensitive to how "feminism" sounds and how obvious it is that it is geared towards women, as opposed to "equalism" for example.
However, feminism (since that's how we'll call it) nowadays has nothing to do with that. Feminism is now, at least for me, associated with laws like "yes means yes", kangaroo courts, "mansplaining", "manspreading", etc. And I do believe that this wave does hurt women. First, it spreads the myth that women can "have it all" (and just to be clear, it is a myth for men as well, nobody can have it all, life is made of choices) which in the end makes everyone unhappy, second it infantilizes women by constantly presenting them as victims who have no control and no responsibilities.
