The "Egalitarianism" card is treacherous because one doesn't exclude the other. Feminism is a subsect of egalitarianism. Curiously I actually don't support fully egalitarianism because I believe complete equality is impossible to achieve at the very least because of social class - Everyone has a different headstart. So in a sense I'm not an egalitarian in the true meaning of the word but I still support equality within reason.
