Most sensible people already knew this was a fabirication by the predisposed left-leaning media. Unfortunately it's going to cause alot of resentment when the masses come to realise it was all a ruse.

I think think the bottom line is we should all just treat women as if they are equal.
Corrected for you.
To balance slightly, a few of the facts given in that video look like they could picked apart as easily as the gender pay gap "facts".
Worldwide, we do still have a fair bit of work to do to achieve equality, for example - here's a fun fact that might be de-bunkable, although source looks relatively solid (the International Labour Organisation Statistical Office);
https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2015/11/boss-more-likely-to-be-a-woman/
In just 3 countries in the World is your boss more likely to be female than male. I'm not suggesting even that it should be 50/50, but the huge disparity would suggest we've still got a way to go.
However I do also agree more aggressive aspects of modern Feminism is often counter-intuitive, creating more enemies than allies a lot of the time.

This is a good point. A lot of Feminism today is written in the West complaining of trivial issues such as manspreading, mansplaining and man sized tissues along with claiming men get paid more in the UK, which they do not. Feminism would benefit from looking at the real issues especially in those countries that are miles from gaining equality, perhaps the focus should be on honour killings, FGM and countries where they explicitly DO pay men more than women. The Feminist movement still has a lot to achieve globally where the sexism and misogyny is overt and does not need to rely misleading statistics to prove its point.

I missed that to be honest, too subtle and clever for me at this time in the morning.
Ah, gotcha, consider me whoosed.
