You "were" (and you aren't now???) very much against feminism (a movement you obviously do not understand), i.e. women having fundamental, equal rights, the right to vote, the right to earn equal pay, the right to own property, run a business (and work), the right to inherit, the right to represent oneself and be represented both legally and legislatively, etc., the right to an education, the right to be an integral part of our communities as leaders, mentors and teachers (of both women and men), rights which Islam enshrined in the 7th Century, the same rights that women in the West had to fight for, and still are fighting for in the 21st Century. Feminism, now in it's 3rd and 4th wave, each wave having specific goals, has never been about women's supremacy, or taking away the rights of men. Feminism, as with any other movement, has its extremists, and one should never judge a group by the extremists, and the same goes for Islam. BTW, another person having rights does not diminish or threaten your rights. Likewise, women's rights do not diminish your manhood, contrary to your statement. Your misogynist attitude is what makes me sad. Women are no more emotional than men, but rather it is how those emotions are perceived by men. If a man is emotional, he is considered "passionate", but a woman being emotional is considered "irrational." It is an age old, unfounded, misogynistic belief, that you are perpetuating here. Here's a thought, "None of you will believe until you love for your brother what you love for yourself." Which is one of Imam Nawawi's 40 Hadith. The Prophet (SAW) was not just referring to brothers towards brothers, or sisters towards sisters, but our fellow human beings, regardless of gender. Where is this mythical "feministic" society that you speak of? It sure as hell isn't here in the West. If women and girls are unhappy, I can tell you why, but it has nothing to do with feminism or self-determination. The biggest problem women have, both Muslim women and Western women, is the patriarchy. The extremist, Wahabi version of Islam, their patriarchal interpretations of the Quran and Hadith, to extremist Itjihads, whose intent is to reduce, and curb, and reverse the rights already afforded to women, and in the West, men legislatively attempting to undermine women's rights such as equal pay, the problem of gender-based violence, and men making decisions about women's bodies, rather than allowing women themselves to make those decisions. Muslim women are not handmaidens, or chattel, to be "kept" at home, discouraged from praying at the masjid, discouraged from taking an active part in their communities and decisions that affect them, discouraged from higher education (or education period.), and discouraged from seeking a career, or intellectual pursuits, and discouraged from pursuing their highest self, but that is what the extremists have done. We don't need male "handlers", or need to be controlled by men, as we have self-control, and it is that type of thinking that assumes women aren't capable of independent thought. Male domination, male superiority, narcissistic tendencies...these are extremist elements in Islam.

Don’t confuse culture with Islam, please have a look at the rights of women in Islam.
