[While I’m aware this is a troll ask, I’d still like to point out something here.]
I think you’d be hard pressed to find as many women willing to do a lot of the crap jobs that allow the rest of us to live our lives comfortably. I don’t see many “feminists” fighting for the right to inspect sewers, mine coal, or pick up roadkill.
I’ve always found it interesting that you see “feminists” whining about “lack of representation”, but only in the fields that are desirable.
True equality means accepting the bad along with the good.
This also means that women who abuse, sexually assault, and murder other human beings of any age should receive the same treatment and penalty that a man would.
It means paying the same rates for insurance.
It means accepting the idea of paying for your own meal on a date.
Gender equality is not equality if you only want the aspects that are convenient and favorable to you. And if this is the kind of “gender equality” that you preach, you’re not a feminist. You’re just a spoiled ████.

This is more programming related than art related, but it’s a fantastic article written by a female programmer detailing a LOT of issues with sexism in general, and how many attempts at correcting gender bias actually make it worse, especially in the technology sector.
My favorite quote is probably this paragraph:
Do not punish the men simply for being here. ‘Male privilege’ is a way to say ‘you are guilty because you don’t have boobs, feel ashamed, even if you did nothing wrong’, and I’ve wasted too much of my time trying to defend good guys from it.
