Because for the majority of human history, women are the gender that has not been accorded equal rights.

Yes, but recently some women think that they can balance out the hundreds of years of oppression on women, by oppressing men now, which makes it kind of a revenge. But this will lead to cycle that just won't end, feminists should Focus more on being equalists, because that's the right term

So, according to a website: " The term “feminism” originated from the French word “feminisme,” coined by the utopian socialist Charles Fourier, and was first used in English in the 1890s, in association with the movement for equal political and legal rights for women." That may not answer the question, but that is why it's called feminism. "Feminist political activists have been concerned with issues such as individual autonomy, political rights, social freedom, economic independence, abortion and reproductive rights, divorce, workplace rights (including maternity leave and equal pay), and education; and putting an end to domestic violence, gender stereotypes, discrimination, sexism, objectification, and prostitution."
