That's not feminism, that's called FAIRNESS. It's also feminism, because for a long time, women had to fight for that fairness. And they still are. Women still get paid less than men do for the same jobs. :/ That sort of thing.
Feminists usually think that women are better than men because they are women. Not true. Traditional feminism is about equality, not women being better. The people who take it too far are not accurate representations of what feminism stands for.
According to the dictionary: 1. the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men. 2. ( sometimes initial capital letter ) an organized movement for the attainment of such rights for women.
So yeah. It's not about being better. It's about being equal. And if a small number of them feel they should be better, they are not the majority.
I don't understand what's bad about it either. Women should be able to do what they want. I still have to disagree with your first two points. But we can agree to disagree. I just wanted to get my point across.
