I think that the double standards in society specifically aimed against men and stuff are a more prevalent issue than a goddamn archetype that's been around for centuries.
Feminists who want to have equal rights and representation are okay, feminists who want every single important government/business/everything else position to be filled by a woman instead of a man piss me off.

woman hits man = "meh he probably deserved it"
man hits woman = "WHAT AN ABUSIVE stuffHEAD HE DESERVES TO BE LOCKED AWAY"
woman is pregnant, she gets maternity leave to raise child
in the United States at least, as a father you're completely forgeted, no paternity leave, have fun not raising your child
Stay at home mom = dedicated parent
Stay at home dad = lazy motherforgeter who doesn't want to work
My point is, if people campaign for gender equality, it should mean that both genders should be equal in pretty much every manner possible. It shouldn't be to gain their particular gender more rights and power held over the other. It's like those backwards-ass stupid "affirmative action plans" that try to stop employers and colleges from discriminating against applicants/employees by forcing them to discriminate in the favor of said group.
Equality should mean I get an apple, you get an apple, we both have one apple. Not "I am a man, I get one apple, you are a woman and get two because of how you've been treated in society in the past," or vice versa. Equality means equal, not "biased in favor of a group that at one point was treated in an arguably unfair manner.
