==============QUOTATIONS==============

Coming out as feminist, a text about terms http://chrisbrecheen.blogspot.be/2014/05/coming-out-as-feminist.html
3 highlights: 
I realized that the discourse itself was laden with inequalities.  People–most often (but not always) men–who tend to be into words like humanism and equalism and insist that today's default is equality and  that "we're past all that now" were always pitted against me. They seem  to believe that only after a laundry list of men's grievances were  rectified, would it even fair to BRING UP women's issues–to say nothing  of spending social capital becoming aware of them. Their effort was  expended not in addressing or redressing issues, but in muscling into conversations to make sure the focus was still on them that not ALL men  behaved poorly or that sometimes unpleasant things happen to men too. 

"That happens to men too!" they keen. 

Does it happen to men and so they feel solidarity? No. Does it happen to  men and so they can relate? No. Does it happen to men and so they want  to link arms and go fix it...together? No. Does it happen to men too and since it's bad enough they can really appreciate the urgency of the fact that it affects women disproportionately? No. Does it happen to men and they then really GET it? No. Does it happen to men and they turn to  women and say "Holy crap my fellow human. Given how difficult this experience is to my half of the population, I can only sympathize with how much worse it is to be disproportionally affected by it! Clearly, you have a legitimate grievance." No. 

No. It is always, always, ALWAYS used in only one way: "That happens to  men too......so shut up."


[…]

The problem isn't the word feminism. ("Fem" is not a bad thing, and the hypocrisy of this position can be observed when many of the same people with an axe to grind against the word feminism will roll their eyes at changing mankind to humankind.)

The problem is the idea of feminism. If feminists ignored the history and context of their struggles to this point and changed their name tomorrow to "equalists," these people wouldn't suddenly jump on board. They would just quibble over that. (Well "equalist" implies that we're all in the same place, so I prefer the term "egalitarian" which discusses potential.) As they would quibble over the next term and the next and the next. ("Egalitarian" implies that we shouldn't have designated roles so I prefer the term "humanist" "Well, humanism is a philosophical movement, so I prefer the term....") And while they stroke their chins and have a brandy in an endless debate over the perfect word, every issue to which those labels concern themselves remain un-redressed.

And it's not as if these people couldn't struggle for equality under  another label–any other label. Instead they have limited their  "struggle" to policing the word wherever they see it. When your only  cause for equality is to piss and moan about the label used by the  people actually doing the work, you suck at caring about equality.

Feminist is a 21st century word, Time
http://time.com/3588846/time-apologizes-feminist-word-poll-robin-morgan/
Robin Morgan  is an author, activist and feminist. She is also a co-founder, with  Gloria Steinem and Jane Fonda, of the Women's Media Center 
Book by Caitlin Moran. In her criticism,  she stressed that women who don’t identify as feminists don’t realize  what feminism implies, nor all that feminism has secured for them : What  do you think feminism IS, ladies? What part of ‘liberation for  women’  is not for you? Is it freedom to vote? The right not to be owned  by the  man you marry? The campaign for equal pay? Did all that good shit  GET  ON YOUR NERVES? Or were you just DRUNK AT THE TIME OF SURVEY?

Glossaire Du Féminisme: (intéressant pour préciser les termes)
Le terme « féminisme » est aujourd’hui délaissé par les jeunes générations. Par manque de combattivité ou de connaissances, mais aussi parce qu’il recouvre différentes interprétations et engagements. (...) Le Conseil des Femmes Francophones de Belgique a cherché à donner une définition actuelle au féminisme.

Cette recherche s’appuie sur un corpus, non exhaustif, de cent cinquante occurrences des termes auctrix et autrice entre le Ier et le XXIe siècle. Celui-ci dessine une chronologie de l’usage qui recoupe à la fois les grandes étapes de l’histoire de la langue, de la fonction auteur et de l’accès des femmes à la sphère publique.
Il témoigne surtout de la légitimité terminologique de ce féminin pour désigner la femme qui écrit. Nous nous attardons plus particulièrement sur le XVIIe siècle, lorsque la langue s’institutionnalise et se politise, étape-clé dans l’effacement du féminin autrice et la généricisation du masculin auteur
