Do you think third wave feminism is focusing more on first world problems rather than third world problems?

Question

I think women are equal already in the eyes of the law (U.S.), what do you think? 
I feel we should focus more on developing countries and try to help them instead of fighting for something unnecessary (in my eyes) like being able to walk out in public without a shirt and bra. What's your opinion? 
(This is my opinion/thoughts and not a fact, I'm only asking for more insight and for your opinion. All opinions are valid even if they are "wrong") 
Thank you!

Answer

Shocker: I can be concerned and be an advocate for multiple things at the same time.

Answer

Modern intersectional feminism focuses on eradicating the wage gap, ending rape culture, fighting the double standards set for men and women, and overall ending the patriarchal aspects of our culture. 
"Woman have it worse elsewhere, be grateful you mostly have equality but not really while other women suffer blatant inequality" is a really shitty argument against modern feminism.

Legality is only ONE battle in the entire war. The next battle is SOCIAL change.

Answer

I think right now, we work on what's accessible. Also, it gets a bit tricky when dealing with other cultures. You have to be careful to not superimpose your cultural norms and believes on others. But yeah I think there is definitely things to say about other countries, but I hear about that. I mean I don't think it's forgotten about. But we aren't as able to make a change as we are not citizens to the other countries and have no hand in their laws.

Answer

The fact that you use third world countries and developing countries interchangeably kinda proves that you haven't done enough research about this topic.

Answer

Women are not equal in the eyes of the law in the U.S. when the majority of states have laws that restrict women's access to abortion and limit women's abilities to make decisions regarding their bodies and health. I can't think of any comparable laws that restrict men in this way.

Answer

Plot twist: We can focus on multiple issues at once. Many feminists focus on issues that they experience and for those who are less privileged than them. It's this cool term called "Intersection feminism". Look it up. I'd say it has more of a focus on minorities than back in the day when white women wanted to vote.

Answer

I think it's really dismissive to answer yes to this question.

Answer

Here's the thing. As much as I'm the first to take the opportunity to joke about feminism, the problem we face is we have issues here we need to focus on before we can go fixing other people problems. Feminism is suppose to be about equal rights, but with misandrist screaming hate in the name of feminism it's put a sour taste in people mouth about the actual movement.
While I still consider feminism to be a joke, some people are really passionate about it and actually do positive work in the name of feminism. 
Like any organization there's going to be it's extremist and people "making a bad name" for the group, but sometimes we have to give credit where credit is due. 
Personally I consider myself an egalitarian. I couldn't consider myself a feminist for multiple reasons. Misandrist (feminism extremist) have completely turned me off to just that label. 
At the end of the day that's all it is is a label. Same with egalitarianism it's all just a label. 
If u believe in equal rights and overal equality for all (regardless of race,gender,or sexual orientation etc) ur a a good person bottom line. Call yourself what u want. It's stupid to fight over labels

Answer

Feminism has changed from fighting for women's rights to fighting for alll genders rights like the T in LGBT and most feminist support campaigns in other countries most countries have there own feminist groups now you can't fully fight for others rights when you are not there
