    Because feminism does not deny femininity. It just doesn't want the female gender to suffer any more male chauvinism, thats all. Feminism demands equality in treatment of either gender within the framework of civilized behavior. It is just a movement aiming at a social change.
    Egalitarianism is an altogether different political and economic philosophy.

    • OK, so it's not so much concerned with equality for all as it is with preventing discrimination against women. I'll buy that.
