I think the ideology you think of when you say it's for everyone, is egalitarianism. Feminism can't be for everyone in the same way that patriarchy can't mean "womens oppression of men".

Unless of course, you're looking to confuse with the terminology.

Feminism is a range of socio-political movements and ideologies that aim to define and establish the political, economic, personal, and social equality of the sexes.

But that is not how it ends up working. There are very little places to talk about men's issues. It either turns in some incel shit or reddits menslib.

The word literally derives from feminine

feminine adjective (WOMEN) Showing qualities that people generally think are typical of women

There is an opposite term to feminism, masculinism, which then leads to the idea that it can't be completely equal. But i assume people will keep using the term to mean "equal rights for all", since thats usually how it goes with languages.

I just worry that the implication is changing so that women = equality and men = inequality. That train of thought is mainly what drives younger men to go off the wall with their chauvinistic tendencies.
