Your link says: "Main Entry: fem·i·nism Pronunciation: 'fe-m&-"ni-z&m Function: noun 1 : the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes 2 : organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests"

Please explain where this suggest activity based on role reversal? It is plainly and unambiguously NOT there
