The goal of feminism (or what the goal should be) imo is to unite all disadvantaged people and work together for equality, and equal rights under the law. So yes, feminism sometimes does treat other unequal, but in general I definitely think it's a positive thing.

Also, just to make this clear, most feminist perspectives INCLUDE race, class, AND sex...feminism isn't just about women, it's also about visual minorities and people with low socioeconomic statuses.
I acknowledge your statement, but a main reason why I dont like the idea is that we shouldnt need to be fighting for equal rights in the first place, and that these types of groups should not need to exist because we should all tolerate each others differences and not let them play a role in how we view people
