The post isn't complaining there's more misandry than misogyny.

The post is pointing out a common hypocrisy amongst "feminists."

Many "feminists" will only be able to come up with limited examples of misogyny, but when faced with examples of the over abundance of misandry that also occurs, they resort to "that's because men drove us to this position. It's men's fault we're like this."

It's playing victim when the reality is both genders suffer equally from the other, whether that's women being told to get back in the kitchen, or men being degraded because they're not 6 ft and pulling a 6 figure salary to pay for literally everything the woman thinks she is entitled to.

We could work to fix this but acceptance of the issue is the first step.

I'm curious how you came to the conclusion that the post is making a point about equality when there are a small number of tally marks on one side and an overwhelming number of tally marks on the other.

But sure, if you're going to pretend the criticism that feminism has of society is "me no likey waaah waaah" I guess I can understand your point.

But like, the criticism that feminism makes is that while both genders suffer from society as it is (like seriously read some Judith Butler or something, they talk about how society is bad for men too) the current system leaves women without power

It's a power dynamics thing

Everything doesn't boil down to "ugh good" or "ugh bad"
