Toxic Masculinity - Would you call yourself a feminist?


When asked if youre a feminist, people began by discussing its meaning, some not knowing what it means as a whole and some being unsure on its meaning. In a modern day environment should it not be an overall majority that everyone knows what the word 'feminism' means as surely everyone will eventually come into the need of equality. 
Some people dont understand that feminism represents equality, even to the extent where its questioned that feminism should be defined all the equality of men and women; rather the equality of all genders (non binary included). 
It is also believed that in a modern day society could anyone even not classify themselves as not being a feminist, surely not wanting to achieve equality is backwards, and politically incorrect. 
Although some people don't say theyre a feminist because they want to understand themselves before putting a label on their own beliefs, but this suggests theyre coming to terms with their own gender and identity; and therefore should believe in the equality of all. 'Support of people, not groups' if youre not a feminist is it questionable that youre not a respecting person.

Therefore raising the question as a designer, what could be done to respond to questions that people have about feminism and the way in which their beliefs in feminism have been formed, where has the influening factor come from for people who dont understand equality of genders.
