I tend to mostly agree with this statement. I don't think we're equal yet, but close enough where splitting hairs over trivial things becomes ridiculous. Every successive wave of feminism becomes less and less of a civil rights issue and more and more of a power struggle. The definition of a feminist is someone who believes in equality of the sexes, but I don't believe any thinking person can agree that the best way to achieve that is by focusing exclusively on women. Things are and have been messed up for men for years. Feminists tend to ignore or outright scoff at men's issues in society. It's not about equality. It's about wanting to see your team win in the social hierarchy, and that is the absolute worst approach towards creating a harmonious society for everyone.
