The only thought I'm going to add to this thread: In my experience (both in person and in reading), feminism is a broad term that can encompass many strains of thought, some of which are mutually contradictory. Most people basically mean "egalitarian" when they say "feminist," but you don't know until you've checked. Feminism is no more a coherent body of thought than, say, the Enlightenment. It's a big tree under which many philosophies take shade.
