Who gets to decide who is or isn't a "feminist"?

Why should feminism be incompatible with right-wing politics?

How do I know what is or isn't a legitimate feminist position, given that the list apparently constantly changes over time?

I am constantly told that there are many different kinds of feminism and that my various complaints about feminism — based on actual interactions I've personally had with feminists — are not valid because they don't generalize across the whole thing (even if I point at well-known, established feminist literature and critiques thereof). Yet I also constantly see groups of self-identified feminists point at each other and try to claim that the others don't actually count as feminists because they disagree about some other issue.

I assume you accept the validity of more than two genders. Will you accept the validity of more than two kinds of political position?
