It was about equal rights. Equal (and beyond) rights have been achieved, thus all claimed feminists are SJWs.

Real feminists are still fighting about wage gaps. Of course there's really no such thing as that anymore.

The word "feminist", honestly, has ceased to be a meaningful label in any way because no one - including self-identified feminists - can agree on what it's supposed to mean.

I think this was most effectively displayed at the Women's March after Trump's inauguration, when a pro-life "Women for Life" movement was barred from marching because the event organizers believed that a pro-life viewpoint was inherently anti-feminists (a sentiment to which the banned group - who also considered themselves feminist - vehemently disagreed).

There is, much as people don't seem to bother reading the studies confirming it. Yes, the "20%" figure or whatever it was that was being bandied about last election was misleading at best, a falsehood at worst, but a genuine wage gap still exists even after correcting for things like experience and hours worked.

Some people insist that feminism is about equality of the sexes, which explicitly means that it also involves advocating for men in areas where they are disadvantaged (criminal justice, education, suicide, etc.). Some insist it is a movement exclusively focused on women's rights. Some say it is a vehicle for female supremacy.

Which is why I always get a chuckle when someone starts ranting about "those damn feminists", because it's a meaningless word nowadays.
