No, what is pretend is saying feminists are only about woman>men. Sure, there are some manhaters and feminazis who are self-proclaimed feminists (even though they aren't), but they are both a) in the minority (by far) and b) by definition not feminists. If you want to include them as feminists because they say they are, okay then, but then you have to keep in mind that they are a tiny minority of feminists. Communism is about a classless society with means of production and transport of products owned by everyone. First of all, China isn't even communist, they only pretend to be (funnily enough, like the feminazis pretend to be feminists), all their actions show that China is capitalistic as fuck. The class mentality is stronger in China than nearly any nation out there, and the means of production and transport are privatively owned. They are about as communistic as the US. North Korea is also not a communist state, but I'm to lazy to go into detail here either. Both countries are riddled with corruption, so whatever ideology they have are irrelevant. The authoritarian regimes are what causes the problems, not their ideology.

1. Okay, if you want to include the radical minority of feminazis together with normal feminists, fine. But then acknowledge that they are in a small minority. Saying "Feminism isn't about equality, it's only about women>men" is about as errouneous as saying "Islam isn't about their religious beliefs, it's only about killing people who oppose them". Sure, there exist Islamist terror organisations, but they are in the vast minority. 

2. "Feminism has several ridiculous claims" - how can feminism "have" anything? Some feminists have several ridiculous claims, but again, they are in the minority.

3. Egalitarianism and feminism stands for much of the same, except egalitarianism is a broader reaching thing, also demanding equality for all economic backgrounds, social classes, etc. It is related to communism and socialism in that regard.

4. Communist want a classless society and state owned (or publicly owned, you don't necessarily need a state there) means of production and transport of goods. If you want those, yes, you are a communist.

that's fine, all I wanted was to show why that basic definition should not be used to tell someone else they are or aren't a feminist. i personally dislike the term and would never call myself feminist exactly because it would not be a correct term to define my beliefs on the topic of equality. I would call myself an egalitarian and a humanist. I don't need a special term to say I believe women and men should have the same opportunities and not be discriminated. The same way it's enough for me to not be racist, I don't need 1 specific term to say I believe in equality of people of different races. Or that tall and short people should be treated fairly. Equality for blue eyed and brown eyes people is important for me... and so on and so on...

i'm not in the position to tell what 'most' feminists believe, or what 'true feminists believe'. for me it's a pointless discussion. if person A tells me they are a feminist i will take them at their word. now if this term is good enough to cover people with such different viewpoints on the same topic, it's pretty much telling me the term is meaningless.

I'm sure the so called 'feminazis' as you put it would look at someone like you and say you're not a true feminist.

my one and only point: the term feminism is useless and people should be able to state their point of view without using it. it's simply muddying the water.

you and me probably would agree on a lot more regarding gender 'politics' than you and the 'extreme' feminists, yet you decide to use the same label they use, I (and many more people that would agree with both of us) don't

What else am I confusing it with?

Not sure but I m sure there is a word for it however, feminism is clearly not it. Guys have equailty issues too but feminists certainly doesn't care for that. Maybe equalism or something but too lazy to find out

I'm a feminist, and I care about issues like this that affect males.

Pretty sure that makes you an equal rights activist or equalist/humanist or something but not a feminist... There is a reason why the word has "Fem" at the start and according to wiki...

"Feminism is a range of political movements, ideologies, and social movements that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve equal political, economic, personal, and social rights for women."

Those are just words terms coined because people think that feminists aren't for equal rights.

Here's the (Merriam-Webster) dictionary definition of feminism:

the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes
