Sounds great. But perhaps you have forgotten the existence of the patriarchy? Basically the very thing keeping double standards like that in place.
So fight those standards? Do you think "the patriarchy" is a nebulous state that affects society like a modifier in a video game? Reject those standards in your interactions with other people and you're effectively fighting the patriarchy. That attitude only leads to accept things as they are while you go through the path of least resistance.
You know why feminism has "waves," right? Because it doesn't fucking stick.
You make it sound so simple.
What they're suggesting is that we make a concerted effort to fight against this specific aspect of the patriarchy.
