Exactly, that was me in my teens and early 20s. I honestly thought sexism had been "solved" and there was little to rebel against. Now that I've seen more of the world I know better, but young women in the young millenial/zoomer generation think it's only trans people that are victimized, that "cis" women are somehow on an equal level with men. In reality, men are as sexist as ever and hurt and rape and kill women the same as before, there's barely any women in CEO positions or in high political offices, our reproductive rights are being curtailed, we're expected to accept men as "real women" in our spaces... in other words, since the '70s, women's rights have been either at a standstill or steadily eroded, but pop/choice feminism is more "trendy" and makes it seem like things are fine.
