A feminist advocates or supports the rights and equality of women.
Only a man with extreme issues of inadequacy would have trouble with women being their equal
You seem to think equality equates with feminism?
Have you ever read much on feminism? Luce Irigaray?
Luce Irigaray writes about the idea of motherhood, stating that all women throughout history have had their
identity defined by the role of
"mother" and "motherhood", even if they never actually have children of their own. Luce Irigaray argues that since the beginning of time women have been associated with nature and unthinking which is in contrast with
men who are associated with culture and subjectivity. According to this idea, all aspects of current society are built around the support of the mother and women.
Based on Luce Irigaray’s idea that the function of males in society is not possible without the existence of females, and their continuous role as mother.
Luce Irigaray argues that true sexual and gender differences do not exist because sexual difference would require that men and women could achieve the same subjectivity. This subjectivity in Western culture, she argues, is phallocentric and based off of male ideas, making it impossible for females to
exist separately. While Luce Irigaray has been a passionate student of psychoanalytic theory and philosophy, much of her studying has led to the development of the theory that the female identity has yet to be stated and is thus declared as an identity independent of male-centric ideas.
Luce Irigaray has intentionally avoided stating what such a female identity should be based around because she
[does not really know] my statement.
Every woman could possibly
have their own relationship with what being females means.
[While men have a shared cultural meaning, this does not make it cultural] my statement
Luce Irigaray believes that women must have another role than one as the "mother". She states that any negative view of females exist not because of how a woman behaves "naturally", but because of the pre-determined, theoretical-bias that has pigeon-holed women into roles and labels. [ Both men and women have cultured roles, not only women] my statement
Luce Irigaray argues that this is one of the most
important debates of our time. While sexual difference is usually defined by the anatomical definition of gender, Luce Irigaray’s opinions are in line with the philosopher Jacques Lacan. Both Jacques Lacan and Luce Irigaray believe that
sexual difference is a product of language and linguistics, not anatomy.

You see, how I connect the idea of structural linguistics with modern philosophy?
This more than about equality, it is about changing the way one understands philosophy.
