My personal views - I am a feminist, or perhaps the accepted term is now equalist. I just wish for the human race to get along, treat each other as equals and work together for a better tomorrow, not getting bogged down in petty disputes over biology/ideology. Just a little pipe dream I've had for a while -.-

"social justice warrior" — a usually derogatory term applied to those who engage in hostile arguments in the name of righting a perceived social injustice.
I don't see why the term for someone who believes in equality needs FEMinism, why Fem? It's implying female, thus not gender neutural. It was created in a time where females couldn't even vote.
At-least in regards to Western countries, I don't think it needs the gender bias name.
