Was it feminists themselves? Because if it was, that doesn't count. On the KKK website, they say they want peace. Feminism say they want equality. Sorry, doesn't work that way.
The KKK does want peace, but not the kind of peace that's ''good''. To them, peace means: exterminating Blacks.
Feminism does want equality, but to them, equality means: women having equal or better outcomes than men.

I think the suffragettes first decided that feminism stood for equality. Now they were good feminists, all they wanted was the right to vote and speak their mind. Feminists of today want to be better then men and rule the world basically, while hiding behind their 'equality'

During the suffragette movement women created the WKKKand 500,000 joined in the first year alone. Also the KKK has had feminists speakers at their rallies a few times that I have heard of. Also family planning was instituted to thin out black people by preventing them from giving birth and choking them out by attrition. These are the facts femmes you don't have to like em but there they are.

The KKK says it wants 'peace'. The feminista says it wants 'equality'.
But both want to achieve their objectives on their own terms regardless of what the general public want.
For the Klan 'peace' means subjugating blacks. For the feminista 'equality' means not equality but for feminists to have privileges and special favourable status not avaiable to men. It is a sham, a fraud, a hypocrisy.
(Incidentally, there happens to be a feminist branch of the KKK)

< edit > No one person or group is able to decide what feminism is. It is not a club or group like the kkk. It is a philosophy that is at least one hundred years old. It has been a civil rights movement, it has been a divisive issue for some Americans.
I wish I knew what you (the questioner) means by feminism. I see that (so far) four people have thumbed down my answer, so I must have slipped into a controversy I didn't see coming. I honestly didn't know that there were people that saw the kkk and feminists as equals. The kkk lynched innocent people. The comparison was a surprise to me and I am curious why it was made.
< end edit >
The kkk is a club of racists. They belong, and they agree on the agenda.
feminism is a philosophy with lots of different veiwpoints, no club membership and very little agreement as to what it means.

Hello, During WW2 the women were the backbone of this country, land girls,munition workers,factory's turning out aircraft,tanks,etc. Nobody called themselves feminist even though they ranked along side the men.I don't understand this word feminism because of today women are on the front line at war,is this a word that many men use to hide behind their own insecurities.

So what is wrong with women having "equal" outcomes?
There will always be misunderstandings; everywhere and about everything. Does Bush likes peace?
Did the Nazi-people go to church? (Yes, they did actually, believe it or not...)
Feminism is a movement that does not want women to be treated bad just because they are women.
Even if there ARE extreme statements among those who call themselves feminists. Forget them and look at the good thing about feminism; equal rights no matter sex

Comparing feminism to the KKK is like comparing apples to oranges. Feminist is a social theory that has many branches and schools of thought, and women from all walks of life may call themselves feminists, but believe in very different things.
The KKK on the other hand is a group, not a social theory, and it has a very narrow focus, and all the members believe basically the same thing, and it's a totally fringe group on top of it. So, if a group of people all call themselves members of the KKK, the chances that they all believe basically the same tenets is very great.

The ones who started it.
Saying that the KKK is for peace is an obvious fallacy — you can't have that if you need to lynch people for it. The early feminists didn't want women to have more perks than men, and it's sad that that's the way things have turned out (in some cases).

And is there something wrong with us being equal to men in terms of something as simple as a paycheck? If we're not and a single mom needs to take care of kids, what does she say - the system is biased and she can't provide for them because of it?
And how do you compare people as murderous as the KKK has been to people asking for equality?

The feminist said so..
In reality, feminism isn't about equality
