I do believe the feminist movement has served its purpose, but it is hypocritical (and foolish, really) to think that the only inequalities in society are damaging to women, and beneficial for men.
To answer Alpha's question: I do believe the feminism as we've seen it for decades, which was only concerned with improving women's rights, has made it difficult for people to consider gender equality as a whole, as something that affects both sexes.
