Hmm...those aren't bad suggestions. The only problem is that I was hoping for something that would flow off the tongue better. After all, feminist is fairly short and direct, and has just three syllables, where equigenderist would be a much more complicated thing to say, and would probably develop its own slang word before long. I just have to figure out what the word is.

I guess the problem with writing about non-English things in English is that the language does not mean what it says on the box, and you have to spend a lot of time jumping around to make sure you don't bring unfortunate real-world connotations.
