Hey Matthewg! OP here. Reading it again after your comment, I can see what you're saying, reading "where we have been" as referring to whatever driving factor there was for cutting, but I originally read "where we have been" as referring more to the mindset of cutting in itself. Like scars remind us that we got to a place in our lives where we felt like we needed to cut, but they don't consign us to being in that place forever.

Oh for god's sake, here we go again. It's called feminism for historical reasons. The movement began with people pushing for female suffrage (aka the feminine vote...Hence, feminism) and since it's the same damn movement, the name hasn't changed. This is the same as many, many organizations. The Republican Party promotes democracy and the Democrats and all other American political parties operate in a republic. AT&T stands for American Telephone and Telegraph, though it's a multinational company and telegraphs are obsolete. But no one wants them to change it to "MT" or something, or force political parties to rename themselves in accordance with their current platforms.

Just a little historical point here. Even after the invasion of Americas by Europeans (because that's what it really was, an invasion) Native American tribes were still big players in national politics. Tecumseh and his role in early international conflicts in New England is well known, but lesser known is the empire built up by the Comanche nation in the southwest, which was a real military and economic threat to both American and Spanish/Mexican forces. There's a really cool article called "Politics of Grass" about it, but if you aren't affiliated with a university or something that has access to academic journals on JSTOR, here's the Wikipedia page based on the author's research. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comancheria.
The "noble savage" image is bullshit, fueled by pop culture that continues to represent Native Americans as uncivilized, un-modern, and in need of saving by white people.

It's called feminism for historical reasons. First wave feminism was women organizing to get the Constitutional right to vote, which was focusing on a problem affecting the feminine half of the population. The later waves of the feminist movement grew out of the first one and opted not to change the name even while advocating for gender equality in a way that directly benefits men, too. It's an honor to be connected to those first activists and be part of a movement that was started by people like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Ida B. Wells.
It's a lot like members of the Democratic Party calling themselves democrats even though the party (and the American government in general) actually functions as a republic. You need a word to differentiate yourself from other political groups and choose a name that harkens back to Ancient Greece because that's where some of our most prized principles of government come from.

My name is blurry face and I care what you think

Congratulations! That is amazing and inspiring to hear! I want to get there someday :)
