However, the third wave of feminism in modern society is aimed at a more intangible problem: the perception of women. This new wave is vastly different from the women’s rights movements of the 20th century, which worked to make all men and women equal. Feminists today are going after the subconscious ideas of women that have been ingrained into men and women alike from previous centuries. In order to change these ingrained ideas, the current focus of feminism is on tearing down the patriarchy and ensuring that society sees women as equal in every way possible.

Unfortunately, as extreme feminists push for further establishment for women in society, they often ignore the problems that men also face because these women are completely focused on female empowerment. As it turns out, there are now several areas where women have won not only equality, but also an advantage over men. Men are actually beginning to see disadvantages in the society as the patriarchy falls further due to the feminist movement.
