It's based on the DICTIONARY (feminism definition |Dictionary.com) and the ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

Feminism- (from the dictionary.com link I provided which pulls definitions from multiple sources.)

1. the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men.
2. (sometimes initial capital letter) an organized movement for the attainment of such rights for women.
3. feminine character.

1. Belief in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes.
2. The movement organized around this belief.

1. a doctrine that advocates equal rights for women
2. the movement aimed at equal rights for women

The doctrine — and the political movement based on it — that women should have the same economic, social, and political rights as men.
I've read through this thread so far, and I've noticed, Ronin that your ideals are the same as mine. But I don't call myself a Feminist.

I'm an egalitarian. I have no doubt that you know what that means. Incase you don't, it's a belief that people in a whole are all equal, and should be treated the same. Be it male, female, black or white. As far as I can see, Feminism is a more... greedier version, where it only leans towards the female society.
