the word feminist...

In this postmodern feminist era, is the word "feminist" outdated?  The word feminist was created during the suffrage and Women's Rights Movement, in the late 19th/ early 20th century.  During those days, feminists primarily constituted white, middle/upper class women who were fighting for women's rights.
Today, the feminist movement constitutes more than just "women's rights." It's purpose has been transformed to include not only women's issues, but men's issues, children issues, environmental issues, etc.
 Many people advocate at least one of these issues; however, few people would label themselves a feminist, including me.  The word feminist has so many connotations that are excluding and confining so many people have a hard time attaching the label to themselves.  To be a feminist people envision a female who is all about women, women rights and a person who takes drastic measures to advance their belief.  However, this constricting (but stereotypical) definition excludes men and those who are not radical. It essentially excludes most people. 
The Feminist Movement has evolved and transformed to be the contemporary movement we see today.  This movement is no longer solely about women's issues, but the word still is.  In order to keep up with the times, and allow for more people to join in and label themselves as such, I think the word needs to be changed.  I do not think the word feminist would ever be able to lose the connotations that are so heavily ingrained into the word.  If this could be done, then we should keep the word since it has so much history.  However, in order to do we must change the minds of millions of people (and we know how hard that is to do).  So it is my belief that the next best thing to do, is to change the word, since the original feminist's goals has been met (according to people). 
To change this word would allow inclusion and new possibilities.  And this word would be: humanist. The feminist movement has turned into human issues, regardless of gender and race.  And while I acknowledge that rage and gender, as well as able-bodiness, class, etc still exist, it should not be the deciding factor in what people choose to be labeled as.  This mode of thinking has created fragmentation, where people do not see how working with someone from a different background could help further the cause.  But we are all working towards the same goal: equality.  And humanist allows for equality.  It delineates "race," "class, "gender," etc. and allows for all to work as one, under one cause: saving the human race.
