I would answer by asking you to define the term, as in, what do you think feminism looks like, exactly? What characteristics would you expect to see in a feminist?
I know a lot of people might think it seems clear cut but to me, some of what I would have thought were the feminist leaders of the 70s have gone along a track in more recent times that I think goes against my idea of the meaning.
By feminist, in the 1970s, I would have thought it was someone who wanted to see a change in society so that women had the same rights as men and who wanted to see a change in attitudes towards the social stereotypes.
For instance, I recall battles for women to become pilots or to enter trades.
Battles for equal pay for equal work.
Discussion about women in the workforce and a change in attitude towards tasks around the home, so that they were not strictly along gender lines.
I don't think people always realise just how much society has changed until they see, as I do (being on an Australian history site on facebook) some of ads that were in papers back in the 1960s/1970s.
The once militant feminists have sometimes surprised me in recent years because they have spoken out in support of Islamic societies. That surprised me because a lot of those regimes are quite repressive of women (by our standards). Women in some cases are not allowed to be educated, they must not leave the home without a male, they must dress in a certain way, in some of the countries they cannot drive etc. Yet some 1970s feminist leaders say, well, that's just how their society works, we need to accept that.
That sure isn't what they were saying back in the 1970s about western society.
Today, I think society has moved on. Feminism is not the agenda as such now, the focus is on changing attitudes to every other group and also what I would call a non-gender focus where people are not supposed to acknowledge gender differences even exist.
