You want to know the crazy thing? When talking with other moderate feminists, there've been a few times we've all rolled our eyes and gone, "but the radical feminists... they're just off the deep end." We know the common ground between us and them, but we can also see the differences.
Compare that to the women who've said, in my hearing, "I hate feminism." My usual response is, "yeah, the militant ones bug me, too." --- and every time, the response has been, "no, I mean all feminists."
The lower the ignorance level, the more likely that any expression of dislike/hate is going to be qualified to some degree.
