As Aura said, what feminism was and what it's been turning into are two different things. And, as Rags pointed out, egalitarianism makes feminism pointless if what you're honestly aiming for is equality between the genders/sexes. Thus feminism really has no place but to be a movement that empowers females at the expense of males and attempts to create an uneven situation to their benefit.That or most people simply aren't as pedantic when it comes to their terminology and just stick to the word that they've come to know to stand for the movement of gender equality. Just like many atheists probably have a mindset that's actually closer to agnosticism but still call themselves atheists.
