The main reason for that, is because I think that feminists aren't actually fighting for equality. Otherwise, they would address issues that make them more priviliged than men, so that they would become truly equal to men. For example, men are more likely to be incarcerated for longer periods of time then women, even when they committed the exact same crime. I could give you another example about domestic violence in the UK. There, 40% of domestic violence victims are men, but at the same time, the spots available for men in domestic abuse shelters is barely 2%: 80 spots for men, 4000 for women.

In short, as long as both female and male privilege exist, true equality will not be attainable.
