Heh, plus if you're talking about female progress in society, female teachers (a profession which has been "gendered" female for centuries in America) aren't exactly the best evidence of it. It'd be like saying "look there are lots of female nurses, women are equal!" ... and not considering how (relatively) few female doctors there are.

This is so wrong. I'm sick of people getting this wrong. I actually noticed that dictionaries changed the definition in the recent years. "Fem"inism. It is women's rights solely, and always was until maybe a year or two ago. Feminists started spewing this bullshit about feminism meaning equality for everyone. Equality for everyone is egalitarianism. Tranny pos.

Someone needs to re-read their history books. Since it's inception feminism has always been about equality of the genders. Egalitarianism is a more general term for the equality of all peoples, not specifically the different genders.

But you have to remember, just saying "women are equal to men" was a
radical idea for the vast majority of human history. It's so easy to dismiss both what feminists in the past have done AND what feminist work still needs to be done precisely because those women fought and made great strides towards winning that equality (ie. because the feminists made this a much more feminist world, it's harder to see that it still is far from equal).
