There are many different breeds of feminists. In this article (and normally elsewhere on this website) I use “feminist/m” as a reference mainly to gender-feminists. This is motivated by this group being the most vociferous and influential, their own often demonstrated attitude that they are the only true feminists, and that what most people think when they hear “feminism” amounts to the concept of gender-feminism (albeit with a highly varying understanding of what is truly beneath the surface).—and by the fact that the word is by now so tainted by these associations that I see no realistic way of regaining an equity-feministic meaning.
(Respectively, if this is possible, in the long term, the use of the word in a positive sense could lead to further misunderstandings and legitimization of the current feminist movement—which is not only karmically unfair, but creates a very real risk that their ideas are resurrected or that later historians blunder into faulty analyses.)
That, however, is just a matter of terminology: This article would still deal with gender-feminism, even if another word was chosen, because they are a threat to men, women, equality, and science—and because I take the gravest offense at some of their methods, their lack of reason, their intellectual dishonesty (or incompetence), and so on.
