Because they (rightly or wrongly) call

I wrote a rather long post on here a few months ago about how I think the word "feminism" has effectively been hijacked by a toxic subgroup (NOT a small one, a rather large one) with a different agenda and that the term is all but useless now for anyone who seeks equality. I'm not going to repost because I can't be arsed, but it's on here somewhere.
In short, though, groups truly seeking equality need to rebrand and stop clinging to their "precious" labels like limpets if they actually want to be taken seriously as individuals seeking individual equality. Feminism may once have been about equality but it is not any longer, and hasn't been for over a decade, regardless of which dictionary definitions are thrown around.
