Feminism is sexist?

Comrades,

While having a mug of coffee I thought to myself that much of what is
regarded as progressive feminism is essentially sexist and separatist.
It is quite common for many feminists to make general criticisms of
men as a gender. Yet if a man was to make critical comments about
women as a gender he would be castigated by much of feminism as
sexist.

It seems to me that much of the the generalities of a critical nature
made about men as a gender have a sexist character to them. It would
therefore seem that much of the so called feminist movement is sexist
and seeks to create a reactionary polarization within the working
class along gender lines thereby reinforcing division within the
working class. This in turn sustains the politically weak nature of
the working class.

In short sexism is prevalent both among men and women.
