The stereotype that is applied as soon as a person explains that he or she is a feminist. Often, it is the stereotype of that person as a "dykey, man hating, angry as fuck lesbian who has no sense of humor or ability to loosen up.

Kind of sad, really. I mean, this stigma keeps lots of people from admitting or embracing their feminist nature, which keeps on reinforcing this stereotype - because nobody is willing to challenge it.
