That's just demonstrably false and the fact that you refuse to acknowledge just how abused and oppressed women still are today - even though I've repeatedly but the numbers in front of you (and that I shouldn't have to do that, because if you actually cared about equality and fairness, you'd already know how horrendous it still is) is the actual problem. You are wounded so you are in denial. I'm sorry, but grow up.
The socially invented concepts of "masculinity" and "femininity" has been used to disempower and control women for thousands of years. If you're attached to that it's because you like to have that level of baked-in superiority - even if it's only subconscious. Why are you so against allowing your children to just be who they actually are rather than forcing them into boxes that were defined by other people who are now dead?
In countries with greater gender equality, men have better health and they also have higher levels of happiness. Feminism benefits everyone - and the fact that 3 or 4 women who identified as feminists were shitty to you is not a reason to decide that this isn't something that is greatly needed - for your daughter, but also for women you don't even know. Either care or don't care, but stop pretending you do if you actually don't. 🤷♀️
Progressing gender equality is recognized as an important political, social, and economic goal in many countries around the world.3,4 Moreover, there is evidence that gender equality has an important influence on health,5 and indeed some claim that gender inequality represents one of the most significant threats to global health.6
“We find strong empirical evidence in support of the conclusions that more gender equality implies more happiness; that this applies for men and women alike; and that such results were obtained while controlling for other factors that also affect the cross-national pattern of life satisfaction.”
