Certainly the word feminism has a better flow than gender equalists. Or equalism - that sounds like some kind of math concept. Any movement for equality will inevitably create a backlash, so I don't think the "false feminists" are totally to blame for the misconception.

Yes but shouldn't that movement get on board on topics for males rights as to girls rights

If females already had the equality of males, there'd definitely be no need to call it feminism anymore. It's still a very huge issue overseas outside of America/Europe though. It's sad that there never will be true equality for either gender, as long as physical/visible differences exist. Same could be said about racism. No matter how tolerant we try to be, we're all still a bit racist by nature.

Males already have rights. More rights then women. Feminists don't just fight for women's rights but other rights for other minority groups as well. If guys were treated the same as women, then feminism wouldn't have started in the first place. For example, women were fight for the right to vote in the US for a long time and didn't get that right till over 100 years after the US became independent. And today, we still don't have woman president but a few other countries have so...IDK?? And when Hilary Clinton ran, it was all a joke to everyone. So idk how people think there is no need for feminism and why men need a rights movement too. What can guys not do or achieve that women do? Maternity leave?

That is one thing I don't like, that should both get the same. Crime punishments, I mean. They give us lighter sentences because they don't take us seriously, and I think that is anti-feminist.

"When Hilary Clinton ran it was all a joke to everyone." How is that true? She was expected to get the nomination until Obama managed to get some sway. And personally, I just don't like the presidency being a family business so I'm extremely happy we didn't go Bush Clinton Bush Clinton. And now another Bush is trying to get in the game. I'm fine with a female president. Just not Hilary and not Sarah Palin.

Definitely not Palin... I don't know enough about Hilary though. Politicians in general are more male, aren't they? Plus you need to be rich... which is a bit harder from women still being paid less on average, and less likely to be hired in some cases.
