Feminism has made it easier for both men and women to be the kind of people that they choose to be, and to live the kind of lives that they choose to live, rather than being forced to conform to arbitrary social roles based on their gender.
No, of course feminism is not against the law. Feminism is the movement seeking to make men and women equal.
Feminism exists in society because women are not equal to men in our society. Feminism will continue to exist until there is equality not just between men and women but until other forms of oppression such as racism exists.

Feminism is the movement seeking equality between the sexes socially and economically. No, women haven't reached any sort of equality with men.
Feminism is the belief that women are equal to men and should have the same rights. The fight for the right to vote, seen in the women's suffrage movement, is a prime example.
Feminism believes women are people and as much citizens as men. Therefore, there are no second class citizens for men to rule. Now we are very close to men and women being equally in control.
The goal of the feminist movement is to bring about social and economic equality between the genders, primarily making women equal to men. It is NOT a goal of feminism to make men subservient to women.
Your question is flawed. what 'did' it lead to suggests that it is something in the past. Feminism is still in process today, women are not yet equal to men in all aspects of life, therefore the movement has not finished. If you are ridiculous enough to need a black and white answer, the first thing it accomplished was women getting the vote. in 1911, women over the age of 21 and who had a certain income could vote. In 1928, women received the same voting rights as men. Go and read some Germaine Greer.
Feminism is important to all genders because it seeks to end patriarchy which harms both men and women, for example patriarchy suggests that men shouldn't cry, shouldn't care for children, and that men are slaves to their penises. Feminism frees men from the same oppressive system that keeps women tied to sexist gender roles too, and fights for mens rights along with womens rights.
Yes, men can become feminists too. Feminism is the movement that seeks gender equality - this means recognizing that men have privilege and that women are oppressed, although some men would not want to lose their position of privilege equally many men recognize that the patriarchy harms men too. Male feminists are men who fight for equality for women because they respect women, but also because they recognize that feminism helps them by tackling issues like male rape, fathers rights issues, and toxic masculinity.
Feminism is a belief that men and women should be equal in all respects - employment, educational opportunities etc. But some women hold to traditional values of women only being a wives and mothers, therefore women can be against feminism.
