I am a Penguin and the distinction between feminist and feminism is key here. I haven't rejected the main thrust of feminism itself, simply rejected the label that comes with it whilst the main thrust of the movement doesn't align with what I believe the core values to be.

Such a distinction is important, in my eyes at least - much of what I write could be considered to be feminism - but many feminists reject it because it doesn't align with what they believe to be true. Here's a fairly good example: https://medium.com/p/c0ec43ff7a52

Perhaps gender-egalitarianism fits in the broad church of feminism, but i think the language re-balance is necessary. Not just because it focuses the mind on what is happening, but also because it allows questioning of those things which are self-evidently true to each individual sex but aren't evidently true to the other.
