I agree, the language is not ideal.
The principles, however, are much fairer.

I suppose it could be argued that the current default state in our society is 'masculinism' and that 'feminism' seeks to redress the balance. I don't like the fact that the term 'feminism' can be construed as some kind of female superiority agenda (hence me banging on about how it's actually an attempt at gaining equal opportunities and rights).

Thank you
you said what most people think clearly :)

Feminism is not pro women at the expense of men. On the other hand a lot of people don't grasp the semantics- like the difference between women's history and gender history.
