Third Wave Feminism is unnecessary

I'd like to start by summarizing what I and many other feminists find to be the purposes of the waves: So, First wave feminism was about basic civil rights. Second wave feminism was generally focused on complete equal rights. Third wave feminism is about equal treatment of both sexes. It is undeniably true that men and women have equal rights. I will admit that much. However, It would be a complete and utter lie to say that men and women are treated equally, And equality of treatment is what third wave feminism is all about. I would like to add that equality of treatment means equality of opportunity, Not equality of outcome. A brief look at statistics (which I can procure if you wish) shows that men and women are far from equal. Men are more likely to commit suicide. Women are more likely to be murdered. Men are more likely to become homeless. Women are less likely to become politicians. Third wave feminism seeks to close these gaps, And that is why it is necessary. Women are abused, Segregated and oppressed in many third world countries. Female genital mutilation is legal in most of these countries. Women are stuck in arranged marriages, Little more than payment. Third wave feminism seeks to end that, And that is why it is necessary. Note: A lot of people have their view of feminism tainted by hardcore Social Justice Warriors, That many love to portray as the archetypal feminist. The latter is an immature practice as old as the feminist movement itself, The former are not feminists. They believe in the superiority of women, Which goes against 'men and women should be equal', The core belief of feminism.
