The word you're looking for is "egalitarianism".

"Feminism" means different things to different people. If you use "feminism" as a synonym for "gender egalitarianism", then that's not entirely incorrect, but you are picking a fight that will be full of straw man arguments, because other people use the word differently.

Even egalitarianism isn't necessarily an unequivocal good, it depends on your goal function. Individual self actualization isn't universally accepted as an appropriate goal for society, neither is the idea that all people are born equal.

(I happen to share those values but I know people and entire societies with belief systems that don't.)
