I would have to agree with you that it's probably more of a North American issue (I'm Canadian, just so you know).
I also agree with / support the dictionary definition of feminism 100%. Unfortunately a lot of people don't recognise it as accurate these days... We have a habbit of corrupting just about any term that's used politically with mere opinion.
