"Feminism is over, the battle is won. Time to move on"

Article here. Excerpt:

'It would be easy to believe from the papers these days that women have never been more oppressed. From the columnist Caitlin Moran to the comedian Bridget Christie, a new creed is preached: that we are the victims, not the victors, of the sex war. Feminists claim we are objectified by the builder’s whistle, that a strange man attempting to flirt with us is tantamount to sexual assault. Suddenly, just as it seemed we women were about to have it all, a new wave of feminists has begun to portray us as feeble-minded — unable to withstand a bad date, let alone negotiate a pay rise.

Worse still, they are ditching what was best about the feminist tradition: solidarity with the sisterhood and the freedom of every woman to do as she pleased. Feminism 4.0 consists of freely attacking other women over, erm, crucial issues such as bikini waxing, wearing stilettos and page three of the Sun. Moran writes that it is childbirth that ‘turns you from a girl into a woman’ (causing every woman in my office to snort involuntarily) and that feminism will only triumph ‘when a woman goes up to collect the Oscar for Best Actress in shoes that aren’t killing her’. The revolution will be televised, with ‘Nicole Kidman in flip-flops’.

Well, if this is feminism, then feminism is dead, and the triviality of the fights feminists pick is the surest proof of its demise. What started as a genuine crusade against genuine prejudice has become a form of pointless attention-seeking.'

The feminist movement, as we knew it, "died" the moment it stopped being about "equality" (If it ever even was about that, which I personally doubt)and became a movement for female supremacy. It "died" the moment it became that which it claimed to oppose.
It "died" the moment it advocated for things like "Manspreading", "Male Genocide" and "Male concentration camps". It "died" the moment it tried to micromanage EVERYTHING men say and do, then tried to do the same to us (women)! It "died" the moment it redefined words again and again and again to fit the feminist narrative and agenda. It "died" the moment it declared that a man just saying "Good morning" to a woman, just looking at a woman or asking a woman out for a date was "Rape"! It "died" the moment it said it was for the "Equality of both sexes", yet only gave attention and credence to the issues of women and derided, mocked and ignored those of men.
It "died" the moment it became, what is obvious to the rest of us, but not to themselves a full blown hate movement that is given way too much credibility, credence and social and political power.
"Feminism" as we knew it may have died, long ago..., but the literal monster it has given birth to, known as 3rd and 4th wave "Feminism" is alive and well and feasting at the trough of human misery. Both male and female, but predominantly male.
...What will it take to slay the beast? A beast that was allowed to be born from a sense of self righteousness and apathy? And a false sense of justice.
What will it take?
