Well they’re not really the same thing, feminism is a social movement with the goal with furthering equality. Egalitarianism just means you think everyone’s equal, doesn’t mean you actually care enough to make that a reality.

I disagree and as far as I can tell, so does Wikipedia.

    You implied that an egalitarian person doesn’t have the goal of furthering equality, did you not?
    
    The Wikipedia article on egalitarianism says:
    
    By promoting equal opportunities, egalitarianism aims to level the playing field and reduce disparities that result from social inequalities.
    
    and
    
    Egalitarian doctrines have supported many modern social movements, including the Enlightenment, feminism, civil rights, and international human rights.
    
    Do you not feel that what you claim and what Wikipedia says are in conflict? At any rate, what I mean by being egalitarian is also to work toward achieving an egalitarian society and I do work toward that goal in practice as well.
