@Shadow laws  I understand your frustration but you direct it in the wrong direction. Feminism is not at fault, the system is.
I wonder where are you from, talking about quotas and stuff like that. Sounds very American to me. In the world outside of the west it's still pretty common for women to be treated like a second class, so I can't share your frustration about feminism as a whole. In my country there are no quotas and it is still expected from a woman to work a day job and then come home and clean, cook and take care of the children. Men also work the same tiring day job, but then they usually have a luxury to come home and actually rest, instead of working a second shift at home. And my country is more or less okay. I'm not even talking about places where women can't walk alone, because they would be kidnapped or raped, or can't walk without covering their faces, or can't get a job and have to rely on their husband's income.

I can understand your feelings about modern feminism to some extent. I've seen enough hypocrits who say they are feminists, but then go and do some misogynistic hatefull things to the women they dislike. But in this case you should criticise hypocrisy, not feminism. Till this day the core idea stays the same — equal rights and possibilities.

@Spinach i am from india , and yes like i said rural area , feminine atleast the old days feminism is extremely needed there , but the things is , its hard to change people's mind there so feminist won't target those areas , instead they scream in cities , where everything is basically eqal , and that second shift things, well men do it too , there are " mens job " like they say , but we don't get credit for that , like fixing something, cleaning the garden , cleaning toilet, or doing the heavy marketing, heavy lifting, basically being the driver if they don't know how to drive etc ... Are u from rural or urban area ? , what rights don't u still have ? And if u country is doing fine then , i am certain there most be push from the government to better women life , and five them jobs and stuff , but u won't find anything for men ....
