Besides, I disagree with a whole range of people. I only label the ones as "communists" who define themselves as communists.
Feminism is practically an offshoot of communism.
Would you also argue against the humanist movement too then? Because the feminist movement is far more of an offshoot of the humanist movement than communism. Humanism tackles the equality of every person whereas communism is more of a economic ideology that wishes to give everyone equality economically. Of course, any group that is offering an inkling of equality is going to be attractive for classes of individuals who have been oppressed. I could see your comparison to communism being relevant 100 years ago, but it's not so much any more.

There is a direct relation of feminism with communism as feminism still is and has always been part of the communist/anarchist movements throughout the world.
Yeah, because people who are oppressed tend to gravitate towards groups that are looking to end their oppression. I don't see how it's inherently bad for people to want equality.
