Well, it's a label, so it's meaning depends on how it's applied. When 85% of people agree with equal rights but less than 15% will call themselves feminists, that's enough to conclude that the two are not synonymous. You can try to clean up the connotation by trying to include the calm good people against their will, but I doubt such an endeavor will succeed. The term is just accociated with nasty people at this point, who needs a label anyway?
