Many (most?) definitions of feminism are along the lines of "supporting equal rights for men and women" or "equality between the sexes".

Feminism is an umbrella term for a group of ideologies, some of who do not agree with either of those definitions. In that sense my statement is not accurate. However it is still far more accurate that your attempt to use the latin root of the word to define its meaning while ignoring its use and history.

Here's one: I am a feminist and I support equal rights for men as well women.

Here's another one to an established feminist thinker: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminism#cite_note-hooks-6

In other words, you just keep moving the endposts so nothing is really "Feminism" unless you agree to it. Got it.

Repeat after me: The plural of Anecdote is not 'Data'

Feminism only sees to female rights in reference to 'leveling the playing field'. Any other "but they really also do ..." is just being disingenuous and deceitful.

If you support equal rights for men and women, that's egalitarianism.

That is the opposite of what I did. What I did was to acknowledge that the term feminism is used to include ideologies that I disagree with.

Right, 'Data' is the plural of 'Datum' and I provided you with two of them. I did not make a sufficiently statistical claim that requires a representative sample to validate.

Here is some more data: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equality_feminism

Most relevantly: "While equality feminism was the dominant perspective of feminism during the 19th and 20th century, the 1980s and 1990s brought about a new focus in popular feminism on difference feminism, or the essential differences between men and women."

> Feminism only sees to female rights in reference to 'leveling the playing field'.

I'd ask to you cite that, but I understand the impossibility of proving non-existence (especially given that I have disproven that non-existence).

> If you support equal rights for men and women, that's egalitarianism.

Egalitarianism is a different broader umbrella term with an even looser range definitions. I am amused that in defending your anti-PC rant you end up trying to control what language I use to define myself in a very PC fashion.

You are free to call yourself an egalitarian and not identify as a feminist.

I am personally proud to share the label 'feminist' with a large number people who have individually done more to promote equality in the world that you ever will. I don't mind also sharing it with a some assholes from the internet who do nothing to promote equality.

I'd like to amend that last line to read:

a large number people who have individually done more to promote equality in the world that you or I likely ever will.
