My general opinion on feminism is the following:
I think feminism, as a movement that strives for gender equality, should be encouraged and promoted as an attempt to congregate basic fundamental rights. But, I am against incoherent behaviour by feminists, the kind of behaviour (just using a classical example) of 'I want to make the same wage as men, but men should pay for my dinners otherwise they are not real men' or 'women should be independent, men are all a bunch of pigs', seriously, if you want equality for women you should have coherent worthy conducts, not contradicting ones, feminazis are the reason so many people, specially males, seem to hate feminists (it gives origin to a stereotype).
I also support positive discrimination for both sexes, depending on the situation. The case of the mother having a higher period of time absence of work to be with her newborn, or the man being chosen more frequently for a highly physically demanding job because men on average have more physical strength - I don't consider this discrimination, but practical choices to benefit society
When I go camping with my girlfriend I always put the tent and she organizes stuff inside, is this some kind of gender roles? Not really, she is just better at putting stuff at their places and organizing everything, I have more strength therefore I put the tent in it's place as secure as possible, we are simply making the most efficient profit of our optimal skills.
I also think feminists should start worrying more about States where women in fact have fewer rights and are treated below animals instead of worrying about society in the west having prejudices with women dressed with a top the size of a bra.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
