"I'm an equalist" is the irl equivalent of "both sides do it Smiley "

So she is a feminist. Feminism = equalism

If feminism actually meant equality then radical feminism would logically mean the most radical form of equality. But as we know, that's not the case.
As Derrida once argued, equality isn't always a positive.

I'm pretty sure she's doing it distance herself from the Neo-Dworkinite "SJW"/"campus" feminism that you run into these days.

By definition she is a feminist, but to suggest that the "SJW" (if you will, we all know the type) wing of modern feminism live up to the definition themselves, thus somehow making them the same thing, is utterly intellectually dishonest.
I don't really know how to comment on this word salad.
