I venture to say most of the issues brought up are human right issues and certainly not exclusive to women (though in the developing world, I would have to agree women are far more repressed than in developed nations and do need the kind of feminism we experienced decades ago). Most modern feminists in developed countries want special treatment for women, not equal treatment and it's why as a woman I will not identify as a feminist. I don't want to be treated special just because I am a woman and that's what modern feminism promotes. Men get the short end of the stick on many of these issues (domestic abuse, sexual assault, genital mutilation, workplace discrimination, judgement for the consensual sexual activities they partake in ext... Just because women whine more doesn't mean men don't have these things happening to them too).
