Damn, and here I was just trying to be a good human that happens to have a penis. Didn't know I was less evolved than those without one.

You can be a good human despite that. I have one too, doesn't mean I'm happy about it. I purposefully avoid using it to reduce the amount of harm I inflict on the world by existing. It is difficult, to be sure, because humans are wired to be selfish and shortsighted.

Yeah, I have no idea what to even say to this... Really hope you figure out how to be happy with yourself.

It is not, because it comes from different impulses. Males (cis males if we're being specific) chudpost because they (we) are entitled babies who are not used to any sort of pushback and therefore any attempt at even the most timid of equality feels like an attack on the foundations of masculinity. The world is made for males, and we are rewarded for doing even less than the bare minimum.

So yeah, it is not equivalent, even if it superficially seems that way.

Hence, reads like. Motivation nonwithstanding, a genderswapped chudpost is exactly what it read(s) like.
