Is feminism becoming an obsolete movement?

Comparatively, if you look at any demographic trend for Americans under the age of 30, women outperform men in a variety of aspects that include education, gainful employment, and cultural temperance. Even in the realm of the law we see clear demarcations: in family courts, males are oftentimes punished for having a penis, albeit not to the same draconian extent as the U.K. In regards to criminal affairs, men not only receive harsher judgement but the taboo against prison rape for men is so paper thin that it pretty much receives a welcoming 'exception' to any broadcast networks that censor rape jokes.

Much like the identity politics of yesteryear, feminism is outdated because it refuses to deal with the pluralistic, post-modern society. Instead feminist organizations contrive data that doesn't intentionally blame men for every fault on Earth, but assures men that they are largely the issue and are the culprits of villainy. For example, rape statistics are contrived to reveal that something like 25% of college-aged men are rapists. In reality, if you read the descriptions of these polls, only a fraction of those women who allegedly experienced rape actually believed they were raped, but feminism has pretty much adopted the black-and-white philosophy that rattles most rational people's chains when an anarcho-capitalist opens his or her mouth.

This message of a patriarchy and 'rape culture' is far from the truth. In fact, accuse a man of a rape and you have pretty much tarred and feathered him in a way not even murder accusations compare. Think of fiction: we can root on homosexual rapists (Oz), sociopaths (Dexter), meth dealers (Breaking Bad), but if you dared to show even an ounce of sympathy to a male rapist, it would be the end of the road. I'm not trying to justify the crime as it's self-evident that rape is terrible, but our priorities are whack.

I'd respond Com, but I really need to grade these essays. I'll try and respond tomorrow assuming this whole thread isn't deluged.

The male counterpart to a "slut" is a "douche." Both are stereotypes that can be perpetuated by how someone dresses. If a guy wears a shirt that is unbuttoned to the point his chest hairs seem to be part of the fashion, he deals with very similar condensation and mistreatment as a woman who is walking around the club with only a bra and panties.

Jezebel is just lol-worthy entertainment. I love the fact one of their recent articles is about Disney characters that they want to 'boink' because they can't comprehend the idea the male form is overhyped in media, too. That's why male superheroes are buff and prettified. Men might be able to enjoy the fantasy more with the former, but guys don't pay much attention to their face structure. It's all about drawing in women. That's why you can read such blatantly sexist remarks as 'That's a real man' from the same people who will threaten you with jail time for even insinuating the idea women should conform to your view.

If a man had posted the same article about Disney princesses, he'd be called a chauvinist for expecting women to resemble actual women and not fat overloaded lards.

This is barely relevant, but the most feminist woman I ever dated was borderline insane. She would dream up weirdo fantasies about her brother raping her and stuff. Then she would bring this up right before we had sex. Found her cheating on me one day. Her reasoning was that I expected too much from her - which at the time meant finding her a therapist for her delusions and depression. It was MY fault. Then next week she called me up expecting sex I went over, found the nudes on her computer, and emailed them to her entire family and workplace. Had sex and left. Months later I learned that she had taken her crazy political ideas to the welcoming feminist organization even prior to my revenge incident so that she could convince herself it was okay to cheat on any male that limited her potential.
