I been thinking about this kind thing recently. In Brazil (To be more precise in the state of Bahia which I live) there has been a spike on femicide which bugged me because of the term, "What is the difference between this and homicide of women and the answer i found is: Femicide is the killing of women BECAUSE they are women. It's an specification of the crime. So I think the same thing can be said about feminism: It is a fight for equality of gender focused ONLY in women. It does not make it less than true equality, but the terminology make it become an idea/movement, just like socialism and capitalism (Cold war for example).

well said.
Thx 😄
I mean your line of thought is fine if you accept the premise that feminism is a movement focused primarily on the advancement of women in a society regardless of the status of men, even if the goal is equality. However, the thing that's being criticized here is the people who claim that feminism is synonymous with egalitarianism. As in feminism is also a movement for the advancement of men. However, this is an inconsistent position because the language and messaging used by the movement contradicts this notion.
