Look at the word you are using; it gives the lie to that statement. If you are talking about equality, then why use the word "feminism"? Obviously, by using this word you are putting womens interests
first, instead of promoting true equality.
Why not call yourself an equal rights advocate instead of a feminist?

Edit- I don't want to seem a hypocrite; let me clarify. I was just trying to educate... Personally, I don't like radical feminism, either. They make the job of "real" feminists like myself that much harder.

Let me ask you this, do you agree with the fire departments and police forces
lowering their standards to make it possible to fill a quota on hiring women, who otherwise are incapable of passing the standards required to do the job?
