No I don't agree with everything every feminist says or does,
but no one person is in charge of it. There is not a long
history of disparity and plurality within it.
Modern Feminism started in the 1880's, focused on getting the
vote.
The second wave is after WW2, and the foundational work is
usually seen as:

If you want to know what it was like before feminism, read
Marilyn French.

I've read much of the book, and I had gotten my wife to read it.
Watched this on television and was completely blown away.

Watching on television, the early parts where Mira is in
college, and then married to the doctor Norm, it for the first
time showed me how insane it was the world that the women of my
mother's generation had to live in. Their complaints finally
got through my thick skull
We need far more feminism, not less.
Very good book:

Feminism is very important. You can't argue against it without
being against both men and women.
Michael Kimmel, sounds good so far.

Wanted to read some of his books for a long time.

read this first
Guyland : the perilous world where boys become men / Michael
Kimmel. (2008)
Now I don't know if Kimmel ever goes into railing against porn,
strip clubs, or the sex biz. I he does, of course I will not
agree with with him. And plenty of pro-sex feminists who won't
either.
I actually see the sex biz as compensating for the ways sex is
made contingent on wealth and power in other venues.

I had heard of this John Gottman before. Michael Kimmel endorses
him.
