If feminism fights for gender equality…

Why do they call it feminism? If the point of the movement is to bring equality between the sexes then why not call it something that applies to both genders? If the purpose is to bring equality then the movement should also be fighting for men's rights correct? Women don't have to sign up for the draft, they almost always win child care in divorce cases, and 100,000 to 140,000 males are -blam!- in prison every year. But anyway that's just my thoughts, what does offtopic think?

    Alright, I study sociology. I'll break this down for everyone. Feminism is a movement which was started by females for females to bring their standard of living up to that of their male counterparts. Modern feminism incorporates male rights and support, equality for the sexes and genders, and much more. It is a branch of egalitarianism. If you identify as an egalitarian, you are a feminist. If you say otherwise, you're neither. You cannot be one without the other. Yes, there are extremists. There are extremists in almost everything. However, they are not nearly a representative population. The extremists are a very small portion of the population. Now, in the sociological word, there is a new term, sort of as a joke, called "postfeminism". This is really just a tease that is labelled on people who are feminists but who are afraid of the label for some reason. I think it's a funny little thing, that people could actually be afraid of being feminist, but it's definitely the fault of the media. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to address them. Please keep things classy, though.
