It’s time to say what no one else will: Feminism didn’t result in equality between the sexes – it resulted in mass confusion. Today, men and women have no idea who’s supposed to do what.
You see, the problem with equality is that it implies two things are interchangeable – meaning one thing can be substituted for the other with no ramifications. That is what feminists would have us believe, and anyone who contradicts this dogma is branded sexist.
But the truth must be heard. Being equal in worth, or value, is not the same as being identical, interchangeable beings. Men and women may be capable of doing many of the same things, but that doesn’t mean they want to. That we don’t have more female CEOs or stay-at-home dads proves this in spades.
Unless, of course, you’re beholden to feminism. In that case, you’ll believe the above is evidence of discrimination. You’ll believe what feminists taught you to believe: that gender is a social construct.
Those of us with children know better. We know little girls love their dolls and boys just want to kick that ball. This doesn’t mean men can’t take care of babies or women can’t play sports. It just means each gender has its own energy that flows in a specific direction. For God’s sake, let it flow.
The battle of the sexes is over. And guess what? No one won. Why not try something else on for size? Like this: men and women are equal, but different. They’ve each been blessed with amazing and unique qualities that they bring to the table. Isn’t it time we stopped fussing about who brought what and simply enjoy the feast?

Glad to see some more evidence of a push-back against feminism. This article from Fox (written by a woman obviously, men aren't allowed to criticize feminism) doesn't do a bad job.
I think her hamster still shines through, an example being the statement: "Men and women may be capable of doing many of the same things, but that doesn’t mean they want to."
Correction: "Men and women may be capable of doing many of the same things, but that doesn’t mean they can equally well."
Women may be capable of playing sports, but that doesn't mean they can be as good as men.
I also disagree with the declaration that the battle of the sexes is over. It's gunna take a lot more than an article to repair the damage feminism has wreaked.
