I'm not sure I agree with "we support every kind of feminism"

I recently saw a post here arguing that we need to fully support every type of feminism, radical, liberal, third wave, etc. I understand in theory what that means. However, I'm not sure I agree with accepting and supporting every kind of feminism. <br><br>I support third wave and intersectional feminism. I would never call myself a radical feminist, neither would I call myself a second waver. To me, feminism is about equality and respect. I don't believe men are the enemy, I don't believe women are superior. I believe we should have the same rights, freedoms, and opportunities as men. <br><br>I understand that some branches of feminism don't have the same views I do, but I don't know if I'm comfortable saying I support them as a feminist. I don't believe trans women should be excluded from the feminist movement, so I don't support trans exclusionary radical feminists. I don't believe men are inherently evil, so I don't identify as a radical feminist. <br><br>Am I overcomplicating things? Is feminism about intersectionality and equality in general? Or can feminism be about female supremacy? Or about trans exclusion and radicalism?
