Feminism has been a useful social movement with the purpose of attaining equal rights for women on the same grounds as men. Since this has been achieved in all developed countries, feminism would now be more useful in developing countries where women do not have equal rights on the same grounds as men and do not experience equal treatment under the law.

However, modern feminism has instead turned its attention to more mundane things like the sexualisation of women in Video Games (which has been repeatedly proven to not cause sexist behaviour) or the lower proportion of female politicians and CEOs (and will push for discriminatory policies while ignoring the lower proportion of female sewage workers and construction workers).

Indeed, many feminists will lie about their own ideological assertions whether it is that we live in a patriarchy (which we don't), that there is a rape culture (which there isn't) or that there is a gender pay gap (which isn't really true either). And, if you raise the issue of most homeless people being men or that most suicide victims are male, expect apathy or even contempt.

So the short versions is that, while feminism has been useful in the past, it has since degenerated into a misandrist, victim-focussed ideology.
