The concept of equality is so flawed yet Muslim feminists like to adhere to it. What they fail to recognize is that Islam does not base a person's worth in terms of wealth or having positions of power in the workplace or a high status, when real worth is defined by righteousness,

Piety and your Imaan. To think that women will only be 'free from oppression by getting rid of the patriarchy' and to use men and masculinity as a standard to check how they need to be in society and to reach that 'standard' in order to be valued is incredibly erroneous. When
Islam places a woman's full worth in being a righteous woman who loves Allah ﷻ, obeys Him and is dutiful to the responsibilities that He has endowed upon her. That is obviously not to say that one should not strive for this world at all, you should as long as you're fulfilling
Your duties and obligations towards Allah ﷻ and the people around you, regardless of which gender you are.

May Allah ﷻ help us all be better Muslims.
