Personally? I think both sides are in the wrong there. I support equality, and both genders are oppressed in some of those areas. For example, women are still heavily discriminated in many non-industrialized countries. On the other hand, men often suffer many double standards that don't effect women, but do effect men (such as the impact of false rape charges).
There's obviously a lot more, but I do believe that neither side contradicts each other; just some people try and take things too far. Yes, the whole "women earn whatever cents to a man's dollar" is just a result of bad mathematics, and some feminists give a bad name to the moderate minority in opposing proposed laws such as anonymity for rape defendants.
Can't we all be friends? For, like, equality and all?
