Feminism creates pseudo problems and is nowhere near as relevant as Feminists claim it is

[Please note: This is in no way, shape, or form an attack on women] Feminism- In this day in age, I have been noticing a few feminists creating a series of pseudo-problems such as "there aren't enough women in video games" when clearly these 'problems' have simple answers; video game designers are catering to the majority in order to make a profit and not to 'oppress' women. What exactly is to be gained financially by appealing to the demands of the minority of your customer base? Causes like this are near pointless due to the fact they are overanalyzed until they become a direct threat and/or threat against women. Wage gap- Moving on to women in the workplace, Feminists will argue that for every $1.00US a man makes a woman will make $0.80US. However, these same feminists fail to point out the fact that men typically do not quit their jobs to raise a family, are less likely to work part time, are more likely to go into a career path in which one is expected to perform laborious activities in extremely strenuous conditions, and are more likely to retire at a elderly age thereby getting the benefit of seniority. These factors are completely left out to make it seem as if the female population is being oppressed within the working environment. It is up to the individual to choose what career pathway they work in and due to the fact that many women prefer fields that do not require strenuous work or physical labor, naturally, they will be making less money than their male counterparts. Feminism cannot force women into fields that they do not wish to work in. Abortion- Regardless of your opinions about the morality of this subject, Feminists constantly argue that this is a woman's rights issue. However, the legality of aborting a human fetus has never been a woman's rights issue; it has always been a human's rights issue and about determining whether or not it is moral to kill a unborn child due to personal choices and/or financial reasons. Feminism is not needed to determine this. Sexual Violence- Women are sometimes the victims of sexual violence and Feminists will claim that men need to be taught not to rape. Sexual violence is a very real problem and should not exist. However, the solution that the Feminists have proposed is ineffective for the population as a whole due to the complex ways that one specific human will develop and react to a certain environment when compared to another human. Consider this: If we could reduce the rate of a crime to zero simply by telling someone not to commit it, why does murder still exist in this society? Besides sociopaths and psychopaths, I highly doubt you would run into any man in the street who thinks rape is acceptable. As a side note, the solution mentioned above implies that all men are potential rapists and need to be feared. With this logic, one can say that all humans are potential murders and need to be taught not to murder. If I recall correctly, I was never taught not to murder and learned simply from observing the reactions of fictitious characters in movies and the people in my surrounding environment. I was only able to do so due to the fact I live in a society that already perceives rape as a heinous crime. Feminism's proposed solution of educating men against it is not the most beneficial to stopping it. A much better solution would be simply to have young males and females be much more cautious when they are out with someone they do not know or trust. Conclusion- These constant streams of pseudo problems and duplicitous claims leads me to the conclusion that Feminists are simply trying to find anything to latch on to, victimizing themselves in the most bizarre ways imaginable in order to stay relevant.
