::Ed Poor is right here. Feminism refers to a radical, anti-men ideology, whereas women's rights refers to a much broader range of subjects, such as women's suffrage. [[User:NickP|NickP]] 16:49, 21 January 2012 (EST)

:::OED says: Feminism is "Advocacy of the rights of women (based on the theory of equality of the sexes)". That some people want to go further than that and attack men doesn't mean campaigning for women's rights is no longer classed as feminism. An anti-men ideology would be more accurately described as misandry, female chauvinism, or as radical feminism, not simply feminism. Sadly some in the media are quite happy to confuse the situation by inappropriately branding the radical, anti-men ideology you describe as feminism. It isn't.

::::Read the [[feminism]] article: "By the 1970s, however, liberals had changed the meaning to represent people who favored abortion and identical roles or quotas for women in the military and in society as a whole. ". The Feminism described in your source is not the kind of feminism we are dealing with here. [[User:NickP|NickP]] 19:02, 22 January 2012 (EST)
