Relatedly, I don't know about anyone else but I have a problem with calling wanting sexual equality "feminism" simply because the word implies it's only about women. Granted, originally it was, but now society's at a stage where we have to start dealing with situations where men are at a disadvantage-things like boys' underachievement at school, men's lower life expectancy, men being stereotyped as child molesters etc, as well as the fields where women are disadvantaged. It needs a new name!
