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 think it’s because of the name. The people against the movement won’t like it no matter what you call it. Like Suffragettes(back in the day,) Pride, LGBTQ+, Black Lives Matter, DEI, and hell, depending on your crowd, even “Equality” and “Empathy” are sneered at.
I think it’s a similar argument to “woke”. The original meaning was a good thing but the term has so much baggage now that people abandoned it
I disagree. “Woke” was always tongue-in-cheek and never represented specific goals.
