Well, it's not just egalitarians that believe the latter though. It's the true feminists that believe the latter too.
True feminism is defined by what feminism actually is, not by people who claim to be supporting women's rights but then think stuff that has nothing to do with women's rights (like denying them the right to be a sex worker???? How is that pro women's rights? Denying a right is not pro rights. I mean fair enough if they wish to deny EVERYONE rights as a sex worker but to deny women a right and not men and to claim to be pro women's rights... doesn't make any sense at all).
Claiming to be a feminist but not being fully women's rights doesn't make you a feminist. Being anti-male rights doesn't make you a feminist. Being pro women's rights makes you a feminist. Denying women certain rights and claiming you're still fully pro women's rights doesn't make you truly a feminist just like claiming to be a Christian but not following Jesus Christ or the Bible won't make you a Christian.
I'm both an egalitarianism and an actual feminist. I don't see any point in not being a feminist when I'm an egalitarian. If I wasn't pro women's rights I wouldn't be pro-equality. I'm pro men's rights too but men don't need a group fighting for their rights because the very fact that feminism started in the first place is because men alright have more rights than women.
