Why do some women get annoyed when I state that I don't really know much about feminism and don't really care about it?

Women are not really a big concern to me in life, I work to feed my stomach, to put clothes on my back and to survive, I have no time for frivolous activities like political engagement.

    Because they are probably the feminists. I don't like it either. At least, not modern 3rd wave feminism.

    Maybe you're just an attention whore. Some things are worth discussing. You are not.

    Because there are people in the world who think you must care about what they care about. I am a woman and I do not care about it either.

    They get annoyed because they think you ought to care about what they care about. You don't have to be. Just shrug and move on. Maybe you need to tell them that others are not required to feel the same about what they are passionate about. Everyone has their own opinions and their own feelings about things, their own interests.
