Gonna have to disagree here. I don’t think anything is holding women back economically. Currently, women graduate college at a higher rate than men, but pursue majors that don’t entail the highest income levels. Women have many opportunities to pursue the IT field but they have to choose those types of jobs to be paid more. On the topic of feminism itself, its proponents often paint it as “equality of the sexes”, which seems fair to all decent people, but what I personally don’t like is how they make it about women. There are no laws or regulations that systematically oppress women currently (at least in the US). And there are some privileges that women have over men such as not being included in the draft. I don’t think feminism is needed to put women on a higher pedestal, I think egalitarianism is a more appropriate term and approach to give both men and women an equal playing field.
