Great points here! I've been making points similar to these too.
I summed it all up with a simple thought exercise: Feminism convinced the world that women had it tough in the world, and that it was men's fault. It NEVER answered the question: "But, do men have it tougher?" Absent the answer to that question, feminism itself is unmoored from any rational justification.
There's always some amount of nirvana fallacy in such things. The comparisons are always against some idealized state, and if that state isn't achieved, then there must be something wrong.
