Feminism on the rise? Is the superficial change from male dominance and female inferiority actually male strength and female weakness?

Let's start with the core issue.
Some say that feminism essentially demands higher standards from male dominance.
That sounds reasonable, but it's actually a misinterpretation.
What is the core of feminism?
It's equality, not to let women dominate men.
It's not about men continuing to be providers, just a different name.
"Male strength and female weakness are universal demands," this statement is too absolute.
Not all women admire strength.
Not all men must be strong.
Turning individual phenomena into universal laws is creating anxiety.
They say women find it hard to accept men who are worse off than themselves.
Salary, money, looks, experience—nothing can be lacking in any aspect.
Now, let's flip the question.
Can men accept women who are better than themselves?
If yes, what is that called—male dominance with a different name?
If no, then who is at fault?
A woman earning 10,000 yuan a month feels the man is not doing well.
Translate this:
Women’s income has increased, but their standards for choosing a partner haven't changed—they still look for someone stronger than themselves.
This isn't feminism; it's a double benefit of privileges.
Wanting equal rights but also traditional care.
Where's the fairness in that?
But on the other hand,
Men also have issues.
Many men say they believe in gender equality.
But when they encounter women earning more than themselves, they feel uncomfortable.
When it comes to household chores, they think it's a woman's job.
When it comes to child-rearing, they say it's the mother's responsibility.
This is also a double benefit of privileges.
Wanting traditional authority but also equal sharing.
Finally, after forming a family, it should be family collectivism.
That sounds nice, but what about reality?
How many families are nominally collectivist?
In reality, women sacrifice more.
They give up their careers, take care of children, look after the elderly.
And men? As long as they work well, they are considered good husbands and fathers.
What is true equality?
It's not about who is stronger or weaker.
It's about equal rights and obligations.
If you want men to earn and support the family, you must also bear corresponding responsibilities.
If you want women to manage the household and raise children, you must also provide proper support.
Stop demanding traditional privileges while also seeking modern freedom.
Here are some practical tips for those considering marriage:
First, clarify roles before marriage.
Who earns more, who does more housework, how to divide responsibilities.
Don’t wait until after marriage to argue about it.
Second, don’t use gender as an excuse.
Men can do housework, women can earn money.
Who can do what, just do it—regardless of gender.
Third, beware of the word "should."
How men should behave, how women should behave.
These "shoulds" are just frameworks others set for you.
Life is yours to live, not others’ expectations.
Fourth, financial independence is the baseline.
Regardless of gender, having money gives you a voice.
Relying on others to support you will eventually mean you have to bow to their wishes.
Finally, a honest word:
Feminism isn’t about women riding on men’s heads.
Male dominance isn’t about men oppressing women.
It’s about two people working together to build a good life.
Don’t be swayed by extreme online rhetoric.
Don’t take individual cases as the norm.
Don’t use gender opposition to hide real issues.
Marriage isn’t a battlefield; it’s a partnership.
Partners should focus on fairness, not strength or weakness.
