My real problem with the movement, is that it DOES declare itself "THE" equality movement when it's not necessarily the best equipped for that role at all. Yet it's so large, and people get so... Hm... When it's questioned, that it leaves absolutely no room for actual equality campaigning.

See this is actually what I understand feminism to be I know many do say its about equality for both sexes, but I understand it to be addressing womens rights/issues, to eventually achieve equality with men. So yes, its about equality as an endgame, but the way to get there is to address womens rights.

If that makes sense.
