Have you read the blog that Vicky posted about "whataboutery"? give it a go. It's very interesting.

Personally i think feminism was a much needed and good idea.However I believe that today now that legally we all have equal rights(more or less)it’s outdated and divisive.It should’ve quit while it was ahead on the second wave.
I want us all to be equal too but even the term ‘feminism’ is anti equality.It needs to be re-named to fit in with the modern world as there are also areas where men are ‘less equal’.
Feminism these days has a bad rap due to the extremists.Hence why only a small percentage of women identify as feminist.

And i’ll give it a read when i get time since you’ve recommended it
