I don't agree. I think it's still just as powerful a word even though people purposely try to weaken it

    What could I call myself to show I am a feminist, but not that type of feminist.?

    I personally feel like anyone who's not a bigot IS by nature a feminist at least in a solidarity for the ENTIRE human race sense, but keep in mind, this is coming from my perspective as a male, so I might be missing something by virtue of it not regularly impacting me personally.

    I'd love a less-abused word, personally.

    As a guy, I don't think I'd WANT to call myself a feminist, lest I be incorrectly associated with the likes of Joss Whedon, Neil Gaiman, or a whole host of other clearly NON-feminists who hid behind the word to cover their actions.
