No, you have this all totally backwards.
4 out of 5 women specify that they DO NOT IDENTIFY AS FEMINISTS. There is a reason for that.
The vast majority of women who identify as feminists want equal outcome for women, they don't want women to merely be treated as equals. They also tend to hate men and the patriarchy.

Can you tell me how women are not equal to men in our society? yea, they are exempt from selective service sign on but I doubt woman is asking to be burdened by such a law. And as for promoting a libertine lifestyle, this is not a gendered issue.
I am all for equal rights but lets be serious, this is not what most feminists are asking for cos it has for the most part been achieved today in the US
People get demonized for labels- what used to be a label for someone who isn't sexist has turned into something else entirely. Are you against forced government vaccinations, well that means you are an anti vaxxer. Don't like abortion after 6 months, you must be some sort of crazy right winger. Don't want to go to war with Russia, god you must be colluding with Putin.
You are never going to get men and woman to be completely equal in all ways. The best you can hope for is inequalities that balance out. Maybe women face judgment and discrimination if they work, but they also get the benefit when it comes to child custody. Maybe men have higher rates of suicide and depression but have to deal with less harassment and stalking. Etc, etc.
I would generally agree with you. The problem is the history of this whole issue.
"Anti-feminists" have been attacking feminism since the dawn of time. The line of argument that "equality has been achieved today" has been used for more than fifty years. It's very true now, but the problem is it wasn't true back then, and people aren't going to listen to you now since you've been lying about it before.
For example, look at Milton Friedman and Thomas Sowell. Friedman argued from the 50s that sex-based discrimination had largely disappeared. Sowell made that same point since the 70s, pointing to some very ***** studies that this was the case. The thing is, back then, not only did you have a cornucopia of studies showing a wage gap, but you had literal stories of companies having policies of not hiring women, glass ceilings, etc. It was a ridiculous argument to say that equality had been even close to reality. And, the feminists remember. By being so erroneously used, the arguments can't even be used when accurate.
It doesn't help that the "skeptic"/"anti-feminist" community, for the most part, like the "feminist" community, is not approaching the issue rationally and in good faith. They have an ideology and a goal which just happens, in this time and age, to coincide with the bulk of the data. I don't doubt that if the data went against them, they'd just twist or cherry pick the data, or just ignore it.

That femnazi has a nice rack.
Carry on.
I didn't say that. I said that's the concept of feminism. Whether or not it's been achieved is something else entirely.
If magically the United States were transformed into a libertarian paradise tomorrow, libertarianism wouldn't cease to exist, not would it suddenly be called something else. It would continue to persist as a philosophy of upholding the status quo.
As stated above, I disagree.
'Don't call yourself that because people might think bad things about you' is not an effective argument to use against a feminist because it turns out that's been said about them for more than a century.
Feminism does nothing but make women miserable and drive them insane. Lawrence is well on her way to becoming the bitter, barren, old, batshyt insane cat lady that so many other Hollywood "starlets" turn in to these days once Hollywood robs them of the years they should have been finding a husband and starting a family.

What? I thought that you, as cat-stranglers like youself often do, were playing a game where we see what baseless, unrelated allegations we can include in our questions and statements.
The removal of the restriction is a restoration.
