http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/feminism
"Full Definition of FEMINISM

1
:  the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes
2
:  organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests"

So you believe one can mash up any word out of pre-existing linguistic components, and define the contraction any way they wish to? I call poo!

"Femi"=female
"ist" means exactly the same as it does in the word "sexist", otherwise it has a serious and irredeemable issue with consistency.

Regardless of the above, why is this mashup exclusively "femi"?

Yes, Virginia, they really do the same with dictionaries as they do with the history books!
Mr. Hanky loves you!
