Your ignorance or disagreement doesn't change the definition, the fact you don't like it doesn't change the concept either.This is the language of implied coercion. You are clearly attempting to railroad someone to accept your definition of feminism.
Your refusal to accept the fact that the key word is equality and that nothing else is necessary doesn't change the definition and it doesn't change the fact that you're wrong.
Also, since coercion is the act of coercing; use of force or intimidation to obtain compliance or force or the power to use force in gaining compliance, as by a government or police force it's pretty clear I wasn't coercing you since I was not advocating a change of your opinion or position, I was simply saying that your personal opinion is completely irrelevant to determine the doctrinal definition of feminism which is pretty clear to most feminists and pro-feminists, as much as a lack of belief in gods is the basic definition of atheism - In my case, I claim gods don't exist, but I'm still not going to say that's the definition of atheism just because of my personal position, I'll happily admit that the most basic definition is the agnostic variant which proposes to lack knowledge in deities - The fact you have a different opinion or feminazis have a different opinion doesn't change the core definition.
