Hey rob you make a good point, being polite and respectful to people needs a special word and that's problematic... There's still many people who don't adhere to ideas of equality. My girlfriend has a teacher in university that is an outspoken patriarch (he thinks women shouldn't vote and belong in the kitchen, literally)
In my experience when people ask if you are a feminist it means if you support equal rights for women, including suffrage, job/workplace equality and appropriate reproductive rights, etc. It's usually a way to ask if you have sensitivity to women's issues (in the west too) like domestic violence or if you are against gender roles.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
