There's definitely an element of that. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't entirely them; but it's a world they helped create. Growing up I was always told it was sexist to suggest that men were better than women at anything. Children's shows and cartoons would frequently use the ”boy thinks girl can't do something sporty, girl ends up being better than him at it” trope. We all knew that it wasn't quite true, but this is what was spearheaded by some feminists and we were told to shut our mouths and stop being misogynistic for questioning it.

Again I’m not saying feminists are completely responsible, and I’m aware that the are different (conflicting) strands of the movement, but the commenters telling you feminism had no part in this are just wrong.
