Anyway, you are inaccurate: the believe in the equality of women is SUFFICIENT to term someone a feminist. It is not, however, required, as there are other definitions.Saying you can be a feminist without believing in equality is like saying you can be an atheist and believe in god. Do you actually realize the irrationality of your postulates?
"Feminism" requires an "-ism" about females. That's it. And an "-ism" can be a belief, a doctrine, or a movement. ANY OF THOSE THREE satisfies the requirement for terming someone a feminist.
Atheists can comfortably say they lack all of the kinds of "-ism." They lack a belief in God, a doctrine about God, and participation in any movement in support of God.
