In my opinion, it is detrimental to dumb the issue down by oversimplifying the proposition feminism to a binary of equality. It sweeps a wealth of debate and history under the rug, which is then likely skipped by anyone that decides to identify with it. I think I would prefer that the gravitas of the word, afforded to it through years of hard work, was maintained.
