Why is feminism - of any flavour - expected to centre anyone that is not female?

So in intersectional feminism it's not the intersection that is centred, it's still the femaleness?

Feminism is about and for the liberation of females from the oppression of patriarchal society and gender within it.

Etymology is very revealing. Feminism is for females. That's it.

The only reason that anyone thinks males should be considered is that female socialisation tells us to be nice and put other people (especially men) before ourselves. And that is one of things we fight against.
