Absolutely. But at the same time you also have to remember: for the vast majority of human history half of all humans were considered property. Obviously things have changed a bit in the last century or so, but it's all still very recent in historical terms. Heck, less than a hundred years ago women in America didn't even get their own citizenship: there are still people alive today who were alive back when a woman marrying a non-American meant that they stopped being American!
My point is that systematic oppression like that doesn't just go away overnight, and even though we've seen lots of progress, we shouldn't mistake progress for the problem being solved (more women doctors doesn't mean half our society has equal opportunities to the other half).
You can't have a ref who cheats and throws the game to one team for the almost the entire game, and then two minutes before the buzzer throw in a ref who calls things more fairly (but still not completely fairly), and declare that both teams are equal and can now play the game normally.

loramin you may be born into a white privlaged family (like most socialists) but for most of us, the ref has not been throwing the game for.
So quit it with that bullshit cus all you're doing is making feminism irrelevant to menials by continuing this clearly false narrative.
