Feminism and Mental Illness

This week in class we talked about Feminism and Mental illness. I personally identify strongly with both of those topics, seeing as I suffer from mental illness. Recently, a friend mentioned how he didn't like feminists because they were extreme, and they hate all men. That is an extreme view that is actually widespread. While there are feminists who believe this, those are extreme cases. The definition of feminism is equal rights between men and women.
Mental illness is something that modern media tends to stay away from. Because of this, many people are unaware if it's large spectrum. When they do portray mental illness, it is usually in a negative light.
Personally I suffer from anxiety and mood disorder, and the majority of people don't think that my anxiety is a real thing. It tends to spike in some school related things, and social situations.
The majority of creators who openly talk about it are female. They feel more comfortable sharing that part of themselves.
