What’s the deal with the feminist movement?

      Once upon a time, "Saturday nights were for the wife, but Friday nights were always for the girlfriends." If you have ever watched Goodfellas, I'm sure you, just like myself, got a little startled during your late-night binge-watching by Henry Hill's obscene words. Of course, I think it is erroneous to compare everyone-normal people- to ruthless mobsters who were seeing Dumbo's pink elephants and Jesus knows what else (if you're completely lost with what I just said, look it up on Urban Dictionary). According to Judy Brady, men inherently seek to become "economically independent" whereas women must do all the other tasks of life: cleaning the house, cooking the food, taking care of the kids, etc. It gets to a point that men find it necessary to "entail more than just strict adherence to monogamy" because they contribute so much to the family, right? If you look around today, the times have changed for the better; I recently had the privilege to listen to a surgeon talk about his profession. When he was in medical school, almost all of the students were male, but now almost 51 percent of physicians are female. Certainly women- "soul-centered and strong"- have come to find a "home" in the world. Then why do women still have to demand for respect with such strong rhetoric? A while ago, I too would have questioned these women, but over time, I realized in many ways they still must give up a lot. By way of example, if there was a couple, both excelling in their work, and they were each offered a promotion in New York and Washington D.C. respectively, there is absolutely no question: the husband's promotion will obviously take priority. In this way, the calls for action will not cease until equality in the truest sense is met.
