I think one of the biggest arguments that plays itself out today is whether the appropriate action is to stop sexism or to actively reverse/invert it. For example, in the case of affirmative action and diversity hiring. I don't think many people would argue for the continuation of sexism (even if they act it out) but the real contention is whether we should call full stop or put the ship in reverse.

Are they truly separate alternatives? Stopping sexism without redressing the inequalities that have arisen so far still seems pretty unfair. It would benefit future generations of women while telling current women they just have to put up with the results of past sexism...which is sort of sexist, itself.
