My country has not attempted to counter past discrimination with reverse discrimination, which is to our benefit. We have legislated equal opportunity and that's as far as we have gone. To some extent it has worked in that women and other minorities can and do pursue careers to the top echelons. To some extent it hasn't worked as women and other minorities are very under-represented at the top.
Feminism made a few mistakes, the biggest being to assume that women and men are the same and could be treated homogenously. This is clearly not correct, as we have unique masculine and feminine traits. To a degree we still haven't resolved this one, and I feel that we now discriminate against young men in many ways these days. We discriminated because their innate masculine ways do not fit into the more feminine society that we now have.
Other societies had less discrimination on women in the past compared to the West, which was burdened by Christian doctrine. These societies have had less of a struggle moving to equality, and didn't need radical feminists or a feminine-structured society to get there.
