It already covers feminism, but it goes much further and doesn't deny other kinds of discrimination that happen against men, people of different religions, and people of different races.
Leave the "feminism" label to the idiots who deny that women have any privilege at all, or think that women are the only group in society that are being actively discriminated against.
Agreed. The 'Patriarchy" arguably doesn't exist. If it did, why are men at a disadvantage in society ever? Why are do there exist legalities inherently sexist towards men ever? Let's say it does exist but for whatever reason promotes sexism towards both sexes. Why is the force against this patriarchy - which wrongs both of the sexes - only focusing on the problems of one sex? Also, why call it feminism if it's only about equality for both sexes? Well, because that's not 'all' feminism is, even though feminists will tell you otherwise. Basically, modern feminism is a load of bullshit.
