and it must stem from real life experiences you have had.
Women have had a hard time trying to be equals with men. They had to fight for the right to vote. There still exists an old boys' network and a glass ceiling that prevents them from being promoted into high paying jobs. While Feminsm can be overzealous at times, it is needed because things are not quite equal between men and women yet.
Women are making up over 60% of college students now, and are going back to college to earn degrees. Business is changing, and one day the old boys' network and glass ceiling will go away. Some companies like HP have done away with it already.
Change is happening, but it is for the better. The workplace is getting more diverse with more diverse people. Having people with different viewpoints may actually help than hurt a business.
Not all women are feminists either, but still want equal rights.
