I believe feminism is wrong. Women certainly deserve equal opportunities, equal treatment, and safe spaces. But I am not comfortable saying that only women deserve these things. As I alluded to earlier, the scope of feminism is limited. But even more than being limited, feminism seems more interested in inverting the current gender–power system than it does in dismantling the whole thing entirely.

And that is where you lost me. I hear what you say, but I'm sad to read that to truly believe that is what feminism is about, I don't, I feel that feminism (or at least my feminism) is about the rights of everyone who has been hurt by the gender system, men and women, and particually those who didn't fall into either camp. I don't speak for every women, every queer, every anything except myself, but what you are discribing is not my feminism.
