but its gone past that at this point

Maybe it shouldn't. I doubt people would like the word feminism being used if it inherently painted women as sexist.

Lots of people going for the downvote button but still no better word for the concept has come up.

Which is a shame. I was hoping to find a word where you could use the meaning without the topic suddenly changing to sexism.

There genuinely isn't a word, beyond maybe being patronizing

At least not in common English
