Feminism is a broad term. You need to be more specific. Most reasonable self-proclaimed feminists are actually egalitarian feminists which is a redundant term in that context so they are simply egalitarian.
I feel like we are going in circles again.
Why are you so obsessed with using the feminist label in the egalitarian context?

Everyone who is a feminist is as specific as I can get. I kinda feel like you're just trying to change the definition of feminism to exactly what you want it to mean, and it doesn't work like that. I'm sure my specific idea of the truest form of feminism is very different from the reality of feminism, but I'm not gonna go around saying this person isn't or that person is a feminist.
I guess that would have to be defined by a person's actions rather than the things they espouse, so there's no real way to determine to one another who is truly a feminist or who is not. If someone rapes a person, they certainly aren't a feminist, even if they've read and championed the writing of Andrea Dworkin every day of their life. They could certainly change their ways, and become a feminist later in life, but if one day someone is released from jail on a sexual assault charge and then claims to be a feminist the next, I'm going to very dubious of them, to say the least.
