MODERATORS
Feminists always think women are better then men, until they are provided with proof that they are just as shitty because (surprise surprise) women are just humans too.
You're thinking of misandrists. Feminism is about equality of the sexes. Other groups (eg misandrists and terfs) sometimes claim to be feminist as a cover. A feminist believes men and woman are equals, a misogynist believes women are inferior, and a misandrist believes men are inferior.
I have never seen this to be applicable. From people its always one extreme side or the other.
Equality doesn't mean equal treatmeant, but equal outcomes. Obvious black and white examples like men don't need cervix screening.
There are more nuanced things too, like homeless rates, suicide rates, career opportunities, sexual assault victims, education graduation rates, family court biases etc. All things that require nuanced attention between the sexes, and aren't easy to get right.
99% of feminists are just your every day person, wishing for a more equitable world. There's fringe parties of every socially political movement. I've kind of always wished there was a slightly more balanced name, but the movement started from the suffragettes, so it makes sense from a historical stand point.
Often "equality" is used to refer to legal and societal systems closer to equal treatment, and "equity" is used to refer to systems closer to equal outcomes.
Of course, the terms as defined in the dictionary are very similar, while how close the ideas they represent are when applied depends substantially on what is being considered, when, and how.
