I think that I'm a feminist as I believe in the doctrine advocating social,
political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men. I'm not offended
nor is my wife who could never be described as anything other than a feminist.
What you are saying is trivial and a smokescreen making it more important to do
little rather than actually treat women as if they had the same rights as men. 
I bet you a pound to a penny that whoever came up with that idea didn't work for
a living.
