- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

I think feminism is a perfectly appropriate word choice for the movement. The focus is on the fact that women are discriminated against, and that is a very specific scope of problems that need to be addressed. Calling it egalitarianism kinda loses the point and draws focus away from the actual problem. I.e. the movement is about solving problems, not about a hypothetical utopic end state. You could argue about what that utopia should look like forever, but the movement has already identified concrete issues that need to be addressed.
Anyone who nitpicks the word choice like in the comic is just not sympathetic to the issue and causing a distraction.
So you don't think inclusive language is important?
