do feminists act (positively) to make the world a better place
for women...or just react to what makes the world a hell for women by merely criticizing it and, as a result, forget to act to change that? are they only passive preachers and theorists.. or, on the contrary, active reformers and doers?

Although there are several sects of feminism, the basic philosophy is that men and women should be treated equally. Feminists are striving for political, social and economic equality in response to unfair treatment that has been perpetuated against women both historically and contemporarily. Although things are much better in the United States than in a lot of countries, women are still not treated as equals. They get paid less, pay more for many commercial goods, and often face a glass ceiling when working in competitive jobs. Feminists are simply trying to make the world better for women. It was not too long ago that it was viewed as acceptable to beat or rape your wife. Without feminists, things like that would still be legal.

They act to make the world a better place not just for women, but for men also. Although, it may seem that they don't usually do it for men, just women.

Feminisim is a reaction to the freedom of rights era. Since Napolean, every girl wants a piece of the big life.

Feminism is an action taken by self-centered, liberal women who want to dominate society. They claim their goals are held by all women but this is untrue because if theses goals were in the interest of all women then all women would unite under them. This is just not the case, so feminazis claim that men are holding women back but in reality its other women and their insecurities that hold women down.

Most hard core feminists think that men should be kept in cages or exterminated, as soon as they figure out in vitro fertilization.

There are some of each, as in any cause; very few things are all or nothing.
