I think that is a sweeping statement with no basis. I dont think the femisnit movement was based on the theory that every woman wanted the same changes or had the same goals. They fought for equal right, equal pay for equal work, voting rights, sexual harassment free workplace. The bra burning gestures were symbolic - by no means did those actions the core of the feminist movement. IMO.

First wave was more about equality, but second wave shoved sexuality down society’s throat. I read an article about second wave feminists’ conflicting feelings about their daughters’ sexuality because, while they slept around when they were younger, they don’t necessarily want their daughters to do the same. So in a sense, equality in terms of sexuality is a failure. I don’t think the movement for equal civil rights has failed, nor was it unjustified.
