I call it feminism because “feminism” is a term with a long and distinguished history to draw from and associate with. Despite whatever stigma the term may have acquired, the fact remains that most modern egalitarian feminists still rally under the banner of ‘feminism’. Splintering off from the parts of modern feminism you disagree with just leads to sectarianism and weakens the whole movement, including the good parts of it. Besides, the whole argument against the word “feminism” because it isn’t as inclusive a term just smacks of hypocrisy. Many of the supporters of such a change are the same ones who rail against “SJWs” and “PC culture” because they often want to change terms and language to be more inclusive and neutral.
And I specifically addressed one example of how that societal restriction affects women to preempt assuming I’m only considering men in my explanation. If society instead idealized feminine clothing and feminine-acting people, leading to women feeling pressured to dress in a more feminine manner, while it’s true that men (being less-feminine) would be more affected, how would pointing out that women are also affected be “spinning” anything? Egalitarian feminism tries to be inclusive because it recognizes (just as if it were femininity being idealized) that both genders are affected and ought to care.
