Again, don't get me wrong, not trying to offend any women here but I'm curious.
How can one protect a young girl from feminism? I have a lovely young niece(she's 8) and I want to protect her from feminism. I don't want her to grow up and become a feminist. I don't want her being corrupted by feminism.
So what can I do to protect my niece from feminism? I care about her a lot.

I have a neice and three daughters. Here's how *I* deal with it.
I don't directly say 'feminism' or such to any of them, but when they talk about how a boy is better or worse at something, I simply remind them that we're different and we have *some* advantages while they have *other* advantages.
Then, I give a couple of examples to help them see how we're different and remind them that being different doesn't mean *better* or worse.
Because my ex knows I am anti-feminist, I think she tries to instill some level of feminacentric lines on them - but for the most part my kids are smart and realise she's bitter and twisted.

you may coach her self appreciate and complicated artwork without exposing her to the hazards of feminism. Feminism is approximately being a self based brat. Feminism could have your daughter ending up like the ladies interior the object.

Protect her form what exactly? Women wanting rights? You shouldn't dictate your niece, let her be what she wants to be. The best advice you can give her is, to let her know that when she grows up she has choices , and doesn't have to get married or have children. By the way DONT brainwash her into thinking that all women have to be obeidant, subbmissive housewives but at same time dont let her think that just cus shes female shes allowed to those special rights you claim feminists have. At the end of the day shes not your daughter so you cant have a say in her life, no offence.

By making sure that her father isnt spoiling the heck out of her, and giving her an unreal expectation of the world around her. The princess complex is one of the worst to have, because it gives the person a sense of entitlement that they should not have.

Yeah, I'd also be curious to know how you define feminism. I define it as just one slice out of the whole humanitarian pie. Feminism, to me, means granting females access to equal education, participant and leadership roles in the public sphere, property rights, the ability to chose her own partner, a voice she can use to say "No" when people try to hurt her, legal protection, etc.
If you don't believe she deserves the same, you are going to have a hard time convincing me that you care more about her than you would a parakeet.
As for how to prevent her from becoming a man-hater? Show her kindness and respect. Encourage her to cultivate her abilities and to have faith in them. Make sure she knows how to assert herself in such a way that men won't take advantage of her. That way, she won't end up hating all men from being mistreated by a few.

Not something to be tackled head-on. If you keep going on about 'feminism' all you are going to do is make her curious about what it is. You need to be more subtle. I think [I'm Not Sexy] has got it right.

It's very difficult with their propaganda infiltrating the media, but the biggest thing you can do is teach her logic and how to avoid group think. That would go a long way.

What, exactly, is your working definition of feminism? My definition is a woman who believes that women should have the same life opportunities as men. That's not something that you should protect your niece from. You want her to grow up an educated woman who can stand on her own two feet and who is capable of making her own decisions don't you?

As long as you stay away from her, she won't see the need to turn to feminism. Don't you see the twist? Its the misogynistic views of people like you that make feminism more apealing to others.
