Or, since society has granted females at least equal rights

Which is really not true, but okay.

Anyway, what you're saying is, in my opinion, almost precisely the conservative reconceptualization of exactly what I said, except with the linguistic reinterpretation of "recognizing" rights of women replaced with "granting" (!) rights of women, and with the idea that what feminism inherently is is changing rather than society changing and redefining what the word "feminism" means so that they are not in it.

In other words, you bought exactly into what I'm suggesting that people are buying into.

I think that's true, actually. Eighty years ago, "feminism" was just saying that women should have the vote...
