I agree completely. Unfortunately, a lot of people fail to understand the basic definition of feminism (gender equality) and instead write off the entire movement.
But the problem (for me as like a terrible debater type person) is that in order to defend yourself as a feminist when people say oh you're one of those extremist feminazis it feels like you're turning theist using the no true feminist fallacy.
Why not just separate yourself from it altogether. Yes, we are here and we know the basic definitions, but at this point does it matter? The word has been tarnished and words, fluid as they are, take on new meanings over time.
I prefer to call myself an egalitarian. It's the same damn thing without the negative connotation.
