But civil rights is not "black rights", do you see?

-isms, generally, exist to advance the interests of their sponsors, to the detriment of society as a whole.

Civil rights is not "black rights", you're right, and feminism is a questionable name for itself.

But that generalisation about -isms is intellectually vacuous nonsense.

Ah whoops - that was a mistake. But my point still stands that to advance equality can require that a group organise under the banner of an -ism or of x rights.
