>>6559255In short traditional feminism advocated for equal treatment of women with regards to voting rights and property rights, among other things.
Modern feminism focuses on bogeyman-tier social issues such as a fictional "patriarchy" intangibly oppressing women, or vying for controversial subjects such as abortion and gender stereotypes, and is also intrinsically tied to the LGBT and SJW movements and all their faults.
An easy test to see whether feminism is needed is to see if women do not have any rights that men do; if they don't, then feminism is needed. This goes for places in the middle east or africa where women do not have basic rights such as autonomy or the ability to vote. In the west, however, women have exactly as many rights as men do, and actually have a tangible benefit from them in how they are treated in places such as employment (via affirmative action), college (more women apply and get accepted yearly), and in courts (where women consistently receive smaller and more lenient sentences for equivalent crimes, in a case equivalent to the "baby face" scenario, where less adult and less masculine features make you tend to get off easier in courts.)
this is not comprehensive but gets the gist of it across
