Not really an equivalent. Stopping racist actions against minorities has no effect on white people. It helps to move towards equality.

Forcing a change in language women can use about themselves because a minority of people find it excludes them is simultaneously telling one group their feelings on language used to refer to them matters more than the other. That's unequal and a double standard.
