What is it?
My cousin tried to talk about it, but he's a misogynistic racist asshole (MRA) so nobody paid attention to him. Based on the name and wikipedia it seems to be a newer form of feminism. Wikipedia says at the beginning "what critics see as a type of "lipstick feminism" that confines women to stereotypical roles, while it erodes cultural freedoms women gained through the Second-wave feminism of the 1960s and 1970s in particular."

And the urban dictionary (probably more similar to my cousin's stance) say:
"A femenist who belives that women are superior to men in every way possible. Yet when it comes to superiority between the sexes, it dosen't exist."
Also why is it hated, and what group uses it most as a slander word?

It just sounds like bourgeois consumerism and objectification dressed up as "feminism".

It is a litle bit more complex than bourgeois consumerism. Don't have time to go into it now. Follow the link and try to find the actual article by Aya Gruber.
