I feel like that's a really low baseline. That definition calls loads of people feminists whom Rebecca West would most definitely disagree with on most policies.

But I just noticed that you say that the term feminist shouldn't be used, so I'm a bit confused about what you mean. I don't think you're saying that feminism cannot be defined. Nor do I think you're saying that it's so politicized that its ideas should be abandoned.

I think that anyone that is intellectually honest knows what feminism is. But nowadays it's so hard to find ways of having any honest and open conversation online. Which is pretty much why I'm interested in decentralized social media, as my last hope.

The word really means dramatically different things to different people. And so I try not to use it. If I am going to use it a use a qualifier with it. I generally try to talk about things in terms of human rights and values.
