Opinion on feminism?

[Redalgo]

I have a very favorable opinion of liberal feminism provided it is being championed to promote greater social equality between the sexes instead of to espouse hatred toward men or create a new dominant-subordinate relationship betwixt the sexes. Socialist feminism seems paranoid to me in the sense that it attributes sex inequality to capitalist manipulation of the proletariat, and radical feminism almost certainly overestimates the extent to which male-female relations can be used to explain social conflict and justify revolutionary changes in culture.

I find it quite disturbing that plenty of people who believe in women's equality but dislike an active  movement to achieve it.

My best guess would be that more people say that they support women's equality out of political correctness or without thinking about what it implies than actually believe women and men should be equals. Likewise with racism, well over 90% of Americans express support for racial equality but that is certainly not anywhere near the rate at which people support active measures to achieve that equality. Incidentally, I agree completely that traditional gender roles are anti-feminist. I would also describe them as anti-LGBT rights and threatening to individual freedom.

Maybe I have a very different understanding of radical feminism than a lot of people, but doesn't it basically replace the Marxisant focus on economic inequalities and injustices with those related to sex as a prime factor in causing social conflict and steering the course of history? From what I read awhile back, radical feminism also views the state as an inherently male institution which can only ever serve the interests of men. It has to be destroyed via militant revolutionary action instead of using reforms from within the existing system, and then ought to be followed up with a completely new culture featuring institutions that are not patriarchal.

Are we thinking about the same thing? Some clarification might help me in evaluating my position.
