Words have different meaning to different people. The Feminism label carries a political context that Egalitarianism label does not and not every Egalitarian is automatically a feminist as you claim.
- EliRivers 13y ago"not every Egalitarian is automatically a feminist as you claim." Using the definition I gave (which is quite literally the dictionary definition), they are. I acknowledge that many people (in the US) seem to use the word "feminist" to mean "filthy godless pinko commie liberal baby-killing anti-American" (where "liberal" has already been redefined) or some other such politically charged interpretation. That's a fantastic trick pulled by the anti-women (amongst other things) crowd who do wonders with redefining language on a daily basis.
