I more than agree with the second sentence, but as for the first: do you believe the same of words like "socialist"? What about "atheist"? I'm not trying to be nitpicky, I just want to know if feminism is a special "ism" to you, and if so, why.
EDIT: Since we don't disagree philosophically, I only ask because I'm interested in labels, and who goes by what labels, and why.
