Feminism was never meant for equality, the aim was equity between the sexes. The vocal majority deem this as "necessary" collateral damage for a "correction".
I'm sure many people will fight me on this, but give me a couple of concrete examples where feminism has not exacerbated a divide amongst the sexes.
The problem is that some take it too far, on both sides. I'm a man and have considered myself a feminist for most of my life, but I can still call out the toxic aspects of feminism, an example being "girl boss" culture, that shit is just as toxic as some aspects of toxic masculinity.
Don't get me wrong, obviously women should be allowed to have the same jobs (leading/managing included) but just be a normal good leader, you don't need to copy the shitty behavior many men in power exhibited
Edit: I guess it's more an issue of capitalism and some of its inherent flaws
