Sorry if I misinterpreted your intentions, but the distinction itself is
quite common.

I disagree, however, that feminism lives mainly in the academia.  That may
be true of certain brand of pomo identity politics, but you can find the
"bread and butter" feminism in unexpected places.  For example, in the mid
1980s I worked for the Department of the Army, and they were looking for
volunteers for a prevention of sexual harassment training.  I volunteered
and discovered that the Army implemented an elaborate program to assure
harassment-free work environment.  That was in the times when in most
progressive the men were still making a revolution while women were making
coffee.
