What matters is consistency.

"Why do you have a label that excludes me?" scales up and to a virtually universal group and down to a specialized category with only three members.

It doesn't really matter if you say that men are right to critique the label "feminism" or if you allow specialization all the way down to "Midwestern small city non-theater trans-male part-African part-Irish demisexual furry feminism". Just so long as you're fighting bigotry and applying your principles consistently.

(I much rather spend effort arguing that a man arguing against anti-masculine sexism is a cause worth supporting than bickering over whether or not his cause counts as "feminism", even though I would casually include him in the label.)
