I think you need to look at the problem they are criticising - current movement & activists. Saying 'Feminism=gender equality' evades issuehttps://twitter.com/haltncatchf1re/status/885856916886474753 …

Can say, 'I think true feminism is synonymous with 'gender equality'' & critics of current movement will probably agree.

But they're not having a detached conversation abt what the most positive definition of feminism is but what it looks like right now.

'No true Scotsman' arguments can only take you so far & 'but that's not really feminism' just defends ideology & ignores associated problems

In same way, 'that's not true Islam' doesn't actually address what people are doing in name of Islam that is negatively affecting the world.

No it doesn't.But it points out a difference. Unfortunately it's only a negative sign against the original word,which is mistakenly ignored.

It just doesn't mean the same thing any more! It is so much more than gender equality. Its one approach to it & its a bad one.
