If there is actual sexism involved then I will oppose it.

And that's pretty much all I am as well. I think the term "feminism" just makes people like ScienceAF uncomfortable. He'll throw you a kudos and argue with me, yet you and I probably agree on most things. Label-squabbling is the real issue here.

To get an illusion of meaning and power?

No. Because sexism still exists. While the letter of the law does not cause it, people are trying to change that and/or acting as if sexism is okay. Why does this have to be about power?

Well feminism is for equal rights.
Egalitarianism is equal opportunity.

Women have equal rights.
But not equal opportunity.

No says sexism is okay.
There's sexism against both genders. They both are just as bad.
What's feminism gonna do?

That's why there's "Anti-Sexisim"

Feminism is for equality in general. Thanks for defining something you aren't a part of.

Also, egalitarianism is for equal rights too.

And yet so much sexism is permitted these days. Anti-sexism and feminism are the same fucking thing. Feminism is just taking it from the female perspective.

Label-squabbling yet again.

I'm actually fine with calling myself an egalitarian. It also describes me just fine. I'm just sick of people shitting all over the feminist label just because they don't like it. It's all the same fight in the end.

Seeing you are also feminist "In the strictest sense of the term" it means...
"the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men."

And being apart of egalitarianism here's the definition too.
"of, relating to, or believing in the principle that all people are equal and deserve equal rights and opportunities."

Just because I'm not a part of something means I can't define it?
I'm not a plant, but can't I give it a definition?
