Might help also to describe what you think feminism is, since it's one of those terms that is overloaded.

I once had a physical therapist tell me she wasn't a feminist because she thought women couldn't be as physically capable as men when serving as soldiers, and seemed to believe feminism requires treating women exactly like men.

I told her I was a feminist because I believe in equal rights for men and women, an idea she did not seem so opposed to.

I would love to rephrase the word to "Equalist".
Equal rights for all!

The word you're looking for already exists, it's egalitarianism lol.

Well.The word problem is solved. Hooray.
Can the world now calm the hell down and just be peaceful with everyone playing nice? :(

Equal rights for all!

That's what feminism is. That's my whole point about people falling for the propaganda that it means something else.
