The real issue here is why feminists feel that men oppress women. Adults and children are equally valid, employers and employees are too, same with an entertainer on a stage and the people in the audience. Both are equally valid but both have their own strengths and differences.
What feminists do is interpret different treatment as oppression. Men are vastly superior to women when it comes to some things, and women are vastly superior to men in other things. That's the way it is. Outliers and exceptions don't change the norm. Generalizations are valid.
Men and women aren't equal in the sense of being the same. To think that they are is absurd. Feminists want to live in a make believe world that cannot exist.
