Jay Eh. That's more of a "no true Scotsman" kind of thing. Who decides what a "real feminist" is anyway? I just go by what the majority of people who call themselves that term advocate for. Sure, when misandric types want to pretend they aren't sexist against men they'll trot out the dictionary and claim they're basically egalitarians. But someone wise once said actions speak louder than words. And while they may play lip service to equal treatment, watch what they campaign for and watch how they behave.
There's a reason that in poll after poll, the vast majority of people (men and women) say they believe in equal treatment of the sexes under the law, but don't think of themselves as feminists. I know that surveys in the US and UK the number who identify as feminist is fewer than 1 in 5. "But how can that be?! That's literally the definition of feminism! Ugh. Ignorant morons don't even know what the word means!"
Definitions change with popular usage. (In fact that's all definitions are, really.) People see what feminism has come to mean and what a "feminist" has come to be. And they realize the term doesn't fit them, regardless of what the dictionary says.
