I have a thought

I'm a male, and I'm feminist. The problem I think most people have with feminism (at least people who aren't misogynists) is the actual word. It sounds like we want women to bring men down (that's misandry). That's obviously not the case. I think that if we use a word like humanism or equalism, or something that includes everyone everywhere, a banner for everyone to get under, we could actually begin a discussion on some common ground.

Just a thought though.

feminism

Or, hear me out. Western feminists stop existing, or go help women that actually still need feminism.

Whatever it's called, there'll people who use the label as an excuse to be shitty, and then people will use them as an excuse to hate it.

If someone is really bothered by the "fem" in "feminism", I seriously doubt that they actually care about women's issues.

That's quite an assumption. Females and Males have problems with the word "feminism" because of the extremists

Well the reason that people have an issue is how it is defined a quick wiki shows that it is for woman. SO can you blame them?
