This is exactly how I feel. My entire problem with the term "feminism" is that it's connected to a gender. I also don't feel the need to label myself. I believe in equal rights for everyone - gender, race, sexual orientation, nationality, social class, etc - and I just don't believe the term "feminism" sums that up at all. Unpopular opinion time, but I also believe the need to be feminist in our society has, in probably well-meaning attempts to not be sexist, created some truly unfortunate double-standards (in a movie, it's terrible when a man hits a woman, but when a woman hits a man it's meant to be funny... male-on-female rapists/molesters get convicted more often and serve more time than female-on-male rapists/molesters... I could go on and on here). So, while I know that in general women need more help getting equal rights, it just doesn't sit right with me to call myself a "feminist" because I feel that it goes against my belief system. I know some people disagree with me, that's cool, but I really don't care. I also don't care that feminist is "the term" for equality. It doesn't have to be, and I certainly don't agree with it. I like to put all human beings on the same level, including in the word used to describe that idea.
