Just wondering and what experience of that you have found. I’ve not done it yet but seriously considering it now. I’m guessing it lowers the matches you’d get, heightens abuse and possible filtering out misogynistic men?!
I don't really do OLD, but if/when I did: No. It either invites abuse or gives men a huge hint how they can manipulate you. I want to see them for what they are, not pretending to be "feminist and woke" because they believe that's what I want to hear.

A lot of redpillers really want to rape feminists. They will lie to get there. They will see being feminist as a challenge to overcome. This is a bad idea .
I personally would not do it. Like others said it attracts the fake feminist guys or the red pill men who would just harass you. I dont even think its necessary to mention it because by being a woman you are already saying you are a feminist. Being treated with respect is inherently part of the deal, you dont need a label to prove it. You show it through action, walking away after the first sign of disrespect, supporting women and rejecting patriarchal ideals of womanhood. A man will know it by your character not by you telling him and I think its most effective way to get the point across that you mean it.
Hope this helps!

 I only write positive things in my profile because I believe anything that is a trigger term like “feminism” is too broad and open for misinterpretation. Like I could put feminist and the guy might think that means I love sex work. 
I agree with others that it could appeal to the wrong people at times. People would match to argue and say mean stuff sometimes as their first message.Maybe put something about a few hobbies and note if they use those to engage you instead of dealing with more of the "can I come to yours?" crowd. Tbh, a loooot of women include some sort of beach/bikini/striving to look "sexy" shot (its not even just OnlyFans women anymore lol). Simply not having one WILL decrease your number of matchings in a similar way honestly.
Wow I think this is why several scrotes asked me if I was hiding a horribly disfigured or obese body because i was dressed in all my pictures and centered my face
Tip: if a message makes any reference at all to your looks rather than the content and hobbies showcased in your profile, block and delete. No response needed.
After you find you are blocking and deleting 95+% of "matches", you will likely delete the app. This is the step I recommend. I invest my time and energy elsewhere, and it's paying off much better. It's also easier to attract people irl (LVM at best so far, but I diverge from most here in that I'm no longer actively looking atm). Good luck, Queens.
I take a different approach.I do not need to announce that I am a feminist on OLD. If a man is going to talk to me (let alone date me) or any woman, in my mind, respect is a bare minimum. Misogyny is very easy to spot. Most misogynists are loud, proud and habitualised. I let men show me who they are. And I understand how prevalent it is. (It's the norm). Respect is a minimum. Is that feminism? Maybe, but I don't feel it needs to be announced. It's the bare minimum. It's the standard. By that I mean, if a man is going to get involved with a woman, he should go in assuming she is a 'feminist'.I hope this makes sense as to my own approach.
I once told a guy in person, that I was a radfem, and it was super quick afterwards. Sometimes you really save your time but I personally wouldn't share that info online.

I did this previously and didn't see any difference. It also runs the risk of attracting false feminists who just want to score points. It's tricky!

No, bc then men lie.
No, because the term "feminist" doesn't mean anything anymore. Radfem is very different from libfem etc
