Apparently this is an unpopular opinion among feminists. If feminism is about equality for everyone, it needs to address that. As an example, LGBTQ+ was extended many times to cover everyone in the community, and that’s the right thing to do. There isn’t just L and everyone repeats “Oh! Lesbians are for rights for everyone, no need to update that”
I don’t know what the new name should be, but it should cover gender equality for everyone.
I don’t agree it’s exactly like saying “all lives matter,” but feminism is about bringing women up to a level of equality with men. Like why LGBTQ+ doesn’t include cis/het people without being against them, because it’s about increasing queer acceptance. Cis/het people are already accepted. While feminists and queer activists may want/fight for equality on all fronts, and be aware of the ways a patriarchal society is shit for everyone, feminism does focus on helping women because things are a bit more shit for them.
Knowing some people who said “all lives matter,” they weren’t necessarily racist, they just didn’t get how bad it was for black people. Or didn’t understand “black lives matter” wasn’t excluding their lives. Similar to how feminism isn’t denying the inequalities men suffer, it just doesn’t focus on it.
(*Yes, “All lives matter” was used by a bunch by racists as well.)
