Has feminism gone too far?

Ok so the definition of feminism is  "a collection of movements and ideologies that share a common stated aim: to define, establish, and defend equal political, economic, cultural, and social rights for women. This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment."

With this in mind the word that stands out is 'equal' 


But my question is are feminists actually fighting to be equal or are they wanting to be superior !?


The first thing that got me was when I visited the guardian website there is a whole section for women. 

I argue is this really necessary to have different sections for the different genders 

There is sections for news, sport, entertainment etc then there is this section including feminist views and arguments. Yes I agree everybody is entitled to an opinion and articles like this should be around for people to read if they want to but let me put it like this, if there was a category for black people showing stories where they feel they have been displayed as inferior or people have been racist etc, would that be allowed in a paper? No it wouldn't because issues like that are in the news so why do stories on women have to be different to the new!? 

This is where my argument comes into effect, if it was an equal society then it would be all in one category. Is it going too far and are the extreme feminists out there trying to create a superior segregation to the world we live in?
