Empowering by definition is "make (someone) stronger and more confident, especially in controlling their life and claiming their rights.".
Nothing about the OP's link does any of that. If anything it does quite the opposite.
If feminism is a cultural battle or sociological battle, all the screeching shitlord crap is fair game.
If it's a legal battle, the feminists have won.

I agree with you. Hence my comment that there's legitimate confusion as to what feminism really is. I don't think it's dead. I think it's legitimately well-directed when it comes to issues like female mutilation in other countries and within issues like how we address domestic violence here. And I'm not even saying some of the issues they bring up isn't worth addressing. But some of it isn't feminism. It's about propelling women beyond men which is a whole different thing than empowerment.
Like I said, I can't help that they don't get that. As I said earlier, I liken it to the confusion over what we can define as civil rights and what is legitimately racial issues today.
