To a point, I think you're right. Men are generally more concerned with getting what they want than playing nice and so the charitable interpretation is that feminists figure men can look out for themselves well enough. But also I think feminism is focused a particular aspect of equality. Equality could be broken into four types: no discrimination against men/women and no perks for men/women. As far as I can tell, feminism does try to make sure no discrimination happens against women - it just isn't at all concerned that women don't get perks for having a second X chromosome.

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

But feminism addresses issues far beyond workplace equality. Maybe that's how it started out and the name just stuck?
probably. they also preach for equality in the military. they say men receive promotions over women because of gender and not ability or service time.

Explain, please.
Sorry, bad joke. eagle-itarianism, get it? Oh well...
Feminism could be refered to as an egalitarian movement however I would be hard pressed to believe that the feminist movement would support any other equil rights movement without the feminist adjenda in the forefront. Plainly put, equil rights for any other faction brought about by the feminist movement are just fallout. Feminism is a political action group with the feminist intrest first. Therefore it could hardly be called egalitarian.
Oh, heh.

Except the term didn't come into use until the 60s, when there had already been a century of hard work by pioneering women to get women the right to vote, and give them employment opportunities.
