Er, wanting equality between the sexes is sorta the definition of being a feminist.
Nope. [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/feminist?s=t]
The definition of feminist is someone who wants women to have all the good things men have. They want the
rights men have, but that doesn't mean they also want the punishments. Many certainly do, but it's not part of the definition.

Hey, English is not my first language, I misread. Can you do without implying bad motives?
If English is not your first language, why do you care if it's a group that calls themselves "feminists", which is an English word, that argues the most for equality or not?
Feminist an English word? Yeah, right...
Yes.
Even if your language has a word that is spelt the same and pronounced the same, that doesn't mean that word has the same meaning.
We're talking about "feminist" as an English word here.
You are. I wasn't.
So you come on to an English speaking forum, speaking in English, and then use one single word from your own language, that looks identical to an English word, and don't bother to explain this in the slightest.
And then it's other people's fault when they get confused?
That's because many who call themselves feminists don't want outcomes that benefit men.
This is outright slander. Inflammatory nonsense.
No it isn't. I named no names, and talked only about part of a group of people.
How the hell is that "outright slander"? It may be inflammatory, but it's not nonsense.
I didn't say you did. And I think it's very possible you are simply wrong.
Well, obviously, if you thought I was right, we likely wouldn't be having this discussion.
Ouch. You just compared the existence of people of color to the existence of feminazis.
Yes, I did.
Care to actually respond to the point now, rather than just Appealing to Ridicule?
Show me one person who denies the existence of people of color and I'll consider it. Until then...
That's the point
You're denying a group of people exist because you've never personally seen one, even though your given large amounts of testimony of their existence from other people, that's as absurd as if you were denying black people exist.
Edit: Anyway, if it comes down to burden of proof, then you made the positive claim that the majority of people who argue for equality in rape cases are feminists. Prove it.
Ehm, weren't you just admitting that you made that up? You know, for effect, and I never actually said that?
No, I never said that at all. For someone who doesn't like their words twisted, you sure like twisting everyone else's.
You made a positive claim which you have not backed up, to quote:

Btw, you know who mainly argues for laws defining rape as sex without someone's consent, including women raping men by envelopment, instead of just forceful penetration (which mostly means rape done by men) or the likes? Who is arguing for those laws to treat all people equally when it comes to rape? Could it be feminists? Gosh, I think it is.
You have consistently failed to back the claim you made there, and when ever asked have changed the subject. Not only failing the Burden of Proof, but also committing several Red Herring fallacies.
I meant among those that argue for a new and better definition of rape most are feminists. Sorry, that was not clear enough.
Check the records. Check blogs, it's all there.
Check even the MRA sites, where they don't embrace a new definition that would benefit them because the feminists came up with it first.
Why am I suddenly responsible for your education?
Hey, if you are allowed to argue from experience, you don't get to be angry (or whatever) when I do, too.
When I argued from my experiences, you shut me down shouting "Burden of Proof! Burden of Proof!"
If my experiences must satisfy the Burden of Proof, then yours must too.
So, prove it.
Further, why I'm I suddenly responsible for your education of "feminazis"?
You're seeming more and more like the "feminazi" that people on these forums complain about.
You want everything your own way, you want to use your own definitions without telling anyone. You require that my experiences be backed up by proof, while yours get off scot-free. You want to twist my words, yet jump on anyone who does the same to yours. And anything that feminists have a part in you want to claim they're the main people who are doing it, and if any group disagrees with a feminist's idea, it couldn't be because they actually dislike the idea, it must be because they just hate feminists.
