The term "computer science" is also largely crappy but we have it for historical reasons. Criticism of the name is about as shallow as it gets, especially since it is clear that a very large portion of gender oppression is directed against women.

There is almost certainly a more accurate name. But changing the name would accomplish so little that sparring over the name feels like a distraction rather than progress.

I can see your point.

What I'm saying is rather that the term itself encompasses a broader array of views than we're discussing here. I think to simplify it to "equal rights" isn't exactly congruent to what every adherent to the term holds as it's sole meaning.
