What's not so clear is whether patriarchy and misogyny are causal or secondary factors associated with the problems we see.  Association does not in itself imply causation, so we could be observing problems routed in another cause  where patriarchy and misogyny also exist.  When we focus on patriarchy and misogyny and attribute cause, we can miss the real issue.
Citing obvious example is apparently offensive to Globe censors, whose respect for the free exchange of ideas is apparently buried under a paranoid delete button, but the point that cannot be missed is that the narrow feminist lens regularly distorts outlook, and distracts us from more meaningful and practical insights.
Equality is best measured from a few steps back.  Getting right into the weeds is yet another way to miss the big picture.  
Compounding these errors can produce a lot of newspaper articles, but not much progress.
