That's how I try to think. Just seems to me that labeling something feminist because it aligns with a specific person's ideal is doing the same thing. Too many people think freedom should be limited to people agreeing with them.

Hmm. If I'm reading you correctly, I'm sorry if I've given off the impression that I demand agreement; that is certainly not the case. (What I do demand is a modicum of civility on my LJ and I've been pretty firm about that. And being respectful and mindful of the fact that at the other side of one's computer is another human being.)

There are a lot of people who call themselves feminists and I certainly don't agree with everything they have to say; or they find my "feminism" wanting. That doesn't make the general ideas any less important to me. And I wasn't attempting to limit you in any way. Perhaps simply saying "Wow, you certainly show a lot of awareness about issues that are important to me and I really enjoy our conversations" will satisfy?
