When so-called feminism is counter to equality

Some proof to my idea that this situation can occur. From Rachel Lehmann-Haupt's recent Newsweek article "Why I Froze My Eggs"

Dr. Eleanora Porcu said that women shouldn't accept a "mentality of efficiency" but rather having "demonstrated that we are able to do everything like men," "we have to do the second revolution, which is not to become dependent on a technology that involves surgical intervention. We have to be free to be pregnant when we are fertile and young."

From Lehmann-Haupt-"companies and society need to better adapt to the needs of working mothers."

So it seems that the "second revolution" would be towards unequal, special treatment, with those who choose not to have children having to pay the price to accommodate those who do.
