If you were at a conference where all the speakers are female and 97% of the attendees are also female, would you get offended because the speaker uses female pronouns all the time?

Feminism is egalitarian in principle (and sex doesn't cut it as a classifier, BTW).
If it's indeed broader than just sex, then it's called socialism or just egalitarianism.  Why come up with a new word for it?

But still, most feminists I see online now would never call out discrimination or mistreatment towards men because lolprivelege hurr durr.
That's part of the hypocrisy I was referring to.  In fact, simply the usage of the term ``privilege'' creates a victim-vs-aggressor kind of situation, suggesting that it's okay to try to ``balance out'' the inequality by ``punishing'' the ``aggressors''.  Which is the same as oppressing an entire group for the behaviour of a few.  Which is an excellent example of discrimination.
