Feminists realize that their word is bad and now want to change it.

the word is egalitarian. or "advocate of gender equality". i would never say i support femenism because that is the advocacy of women's rights, and i support the rights of all people.

egalitarianism is more so general equality, feminism just focuses more specifically on gender equality (obv in the context of a society where women are, to some extent, unequal compared to men)

i mean, women are certainly discriminated against, but so are men. it's like if martin luther king jr advocated for more rights for african americans rather than just equality among the races.

i formally apologize for not reading the topic
i formally apologize for me thinking that mczealot had a valid point

i'm sorry--what? it's obviously a good idea. if you are a feminist--the good kind or the bad--you will want to distance yourself from the negative stereotype the word feminism evokes.

also yea, i wasn't trying to say that egalitarianism is the belief in equal gender rights. i'm saying that since it's the belief in the equal rights of all people, it includes men and women. i guess it doesnt work if you are a neo national socialist feminist but w/e

ah ok rereading it with that context i can see that now. i think really most reasonable feminists would be, in principle, egalitarian as well, but they just choose to wear the hat of feminism when that's the subject matter. the two defo aren't mutually exclusive. in fact, in a vacuum, feminism would probably be a natural result of egalitarianism. of course, if you're loveist and think men are inherently horrible, then there are some conflicting ideologies goin on which might make this a difficult relationship. maybe really all that's actually just an aversion to the people who they think have the power, who knows.
