4 panel comic of two people talking
1 A: “WHY ARE YOU A FEMINIST?”
B: “BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN EQUALITY.”
2 A: “THEN YOU SHOULD CALL YOUR- SELF AN “EQUALIST” OR “EGALITARIAN”.”
B: “I USE “FEMINIST” BECAUSE MY MAIN FOCUS IS ON THE UNEQUAL STATUS OF WOMEN.”
3 A: “SO YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT WOMEN. THAT’S NOT EQUALITY - THAT’S REVERSE SEXISM.”
B, pausing to think: “I SEE WHAT YOU’RE SAYING. LET ME REPHRASE MY ANSWER.”
4 B, pointing at A: “YOU.”
“YOU ARE THE REASON I’M A FEMINIST.”

Then feminists should be more specific in saying feminism is about women’s equality. It’s not about addressing overall inequality, just women’s. And that’s fine. I support them in that. Just don’t try to sell me this horse and pony show about how it’s about equality overall - it’s not.
