I moved away from the label of feminism a while ago - mostly as a result of the Depp/Heard fiasco. I now prefer and use the term 'gender egalitarian' - the debates have become gendered, where both men and women view feminism as something for women (and sometimes against men) rather than a push for equity and legal equality.

The latter is important - because whilst we can legally mandate equality in law, we should be careful about social engineering to get an outcome we think we want. We need to be very careful about stepping outside of the mandate otherwise we'll usher in something I've called the Vagina Patriarchy (and been roundly beaten around the beak for). You can find that here. https://medium.com/p/9b9bed8a43f1
