RE: Feminism has been tainted, and so it has lost most of its power.
I don't think it's a dead-end movement at all. Just because some people involved are bad, doesn't mean all people involved are bad. Same goes for anything else. I think it can be rectified.
How so?
As long as some feminists keep being so "radical", I think there will be a problem.
This might seem pessimistic, but I don't think good people are noticed as much as loud people are.
It's harder for good people to make a movement look good, than it is for bad people to make a movement look bad, isn't it?
Hmm, not necessarily. A lot of people are learning to distinguish the two and decide what side they are on, myself included. A lot of "controversial" movements ended up being mostly successful. The American Revolution, Civil Rights, etc...
Yay! I like being inclusive. I've got a lot of weirdo friends, and there's no way I'd want them discriminated against. I think everyone deserves some love, especially the Hitlers of the world. =p

So you think people will fully separate SJWs from feminism, and continue to support feminism?
Why not just start fresh, and not worry about that at all? Is there a reason to use the word "feminism"? A lot of people refuse to join just because of the word itself. They say a word like "feminism" is inherently sexist, because of the "fem" part.
Certainly think it's possible!
Personally, I don't think it's sexist, but I can see why people would think that. I think that is one of the reasons intersectional feminism was born-- to be non-exclusive. :)
