    Sure does, but as far as I’m aware, subscription to the ideology is the only bar to entry. Just because someone uses distasteful methods does not mean they do not subscribe to the ideology. So in this case, I would argue that stating it does make it.

        That’s a good question for the person who we’re talking about. I can’t speak on behalf of their reasoning but they seem to feel justified in it, somehow.

            That’s exactly correct, and they still associate themselves with whatever group. They usually do believe their methods justify the means and that allows them to subscribe to an ideology while doing things an outside perspective might consider against that ideology.

            So if subscribing to the ideology is the only bar to entry, feel free to consider her an extremest or the like, but that’d make her a feminist still, no?

              No, since they’re actively opposing the point of feminism. Doing the opposite to feminism and then calling yourself a feminist, does not make you a feminist.
