One thing that bothers me is the idea of driving wedges between people. Doesn't matter if it's man/woman, black/white, gay/straight, citizen/immigrant. Whenever I hear people talking about feminism, all I see is a big fucking wedge.

But I support equal opportunities, treatment, and protections for all.
On the one hand I totally agree. It isn't helpful to divide ourselves from each other. Unfortunately - racism and sexism (as well as bigotry against LGBT people etc) is already operating to divide us. In order to tackle that it has to be recognised. Equality for all is the goal - but it is amorphous and unfocused to simply call for equality - first the inequality has to be identified.
