See, that's the misconception the public has with feminism. No feminist would admit to treating other people unequal, or discriminating against someone. BUT this DOES happen a lot, I will admit. For example, Western Feminists (ie white, middle class women) are often criticized for leaving out 'other' feminists, mainly those of color or of an alternative sexual preference. 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.
