i think that to many this is almost comically reductive, if not an outright red herring. (not that 'the feminists' is a super useful term.)

Sure. Just like the communists thought people should be equal.

This is getting crazy. Can we please not do this?

So in your mind, personal and social equality are equated two things, Communism and Feminism?

Could you explain this?

I'll explain it this way: Both the feminists and the communists espouse equality as a tool to get what they're really after - power.
