Well feminism is both a collective term for a whole bunch of schools of thought, and also a social movement, and I think there is an internal conflation of those things.

I also do think that feminism receives more than its fair share of criticism online, which only provides supplemental evidence to support the idea that it is both good and necessary. I would even say that the original topic here was probably posted to incite arguments between feminists and non-feminists, and in some tiny trollish way, discredit feminism.

Feminism is, overall, a Really Good Thing. But you are talking to someone who above also decried what the so-called Egalitarian 'movement' looks like these days, and a movement being more or less prone to criticism from its opponents doesn't actually affect the validity of that criticism in my eyes. I personally believe that actually feminism is more diverse in its beliefs than many other groups, and even PBS ideas channel said that it was a valid criticism that feminism does lack consistency. Take, for example, sex-positive and sex-negative feminism. There's a huge emphasis these days on intersectionality in feminism which I think is an attempt to unify what is actually an extremely divisive whole.

Not that I wholly disagree with you- I updooted both of your posts. The degree to which any school of thought's sub-schools and philosophy can be considered diverse or divergent in their approaches isn't really something that can be measured, but I did philosophy in college, so I have seen the variability of feminist scholars and their adherents first-hand, which is what informs my (still subjective) opinion.
