Frankly, I don't know much on the topic of equal pay and what-not, but I doubt that'd help much anyway. The problem seems to be the collective mentality of society says that men are this way, women are that way- and not enough people make the effort to stop perpetuating the myths.

Wikipedia - Third-wave feminism
"Also considered part of the third wave is sex-positivity, a celebration of sexuality as a positive aspect of life, with broader definitions of what sex means and what oppression and empowerment may imply in the context of sex. For example, many third-wave feminists have reconsidered the opposition to pornography and sex work of the second wave, and challenge existing beliefs that participants in pornography and sex work are always being exploited."
Yeah, based on that definition you could call me a third-wave feminist. I'm definitely sex-positive. I'm not very educated on the various waves/ groups in feminism though.
