Why are feminists scary?

Start typing in "Feminists" in the Google search bar...

What comes up? 

Feminists are: Life 
                       Annoying 
                       Stupid 
                       Ugly 
                       Sexist 

The dictionary definition of a feminism from Merriam-Webster is "The theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes; Organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests." One out of the five words that come up is some what positive but then the other four are very irrelevant; annoying, stupid, ugly, and sexist. Just wondering what does the dictionary definition of feminism has to do with those four words at all? They are very discriminating. Why does our society think when we say feminists or feminism get all one sided? Like celebrities sometimes do. People often think of the words to be very extreme, why do we think that way? Can we please change that? Some might call me a feminist just because I like to feel empowered to do whatever I want and believe that I can and I am a woman. Why don't men have a word about them that is very extreme? It's because our foundation was built on men conducting and making the rules for our country, but think about it, Who was the back bone behind the whole dynamic of the making of this nation? Women. They were the ones at home, holding down the fort and helping their husbands in their time of needs. The whole controversy of being a feminist or not is dumb and I don't think the word should even exist. Women that want to feel empowered and important shouldn't be labeled this, they should be labeled as people just like men. Feminists are not life because empowering yourself and others, both men and women are. Feminists are not annoying they are just trying to stand up for themselves and others, so if standing up for something is annoying then I'll be annoying any day.  Feminists are not stupid because they are fighting for equality just like everybody else. Feminists are ugly?! THIS STATEMENT IS SO IRRELEVANT TO FEMINISTS IN GENERAL, whoever is googling this must be "ugly" inside. Feminists are not sexist just because they think women should feel empowered and have the same rights as men, that just means they are smart.  I believe we all want to feel empowered and important so what is this deal about believing in the feminism. Don't we all want to feel good and great about our self, so don't be scared of feminists, believe in the idea of it, throw out the word, and stop goolgling feminists are ugly.
