Long ago Nietzsche skewered the ideas of the modern SJWs and those who hide their malice under the banner of "equality"
excerpt from Thus Spake Zarathustra:
"Thus do I speak unto you in parable, ye who make the soul giddy, ye preachers of equality! Tarantulas are ye unto me, and secretly revengeful ones! But I will soon bring your hiding-places to the light: therefore do I laugh in your face my laughter of the height. Therefore do I tear at your web, that your rage may lure you out of your den of lies, and that your revenge may leap forth from behind your word "justice." Because, for man to be redeemed from revenge—that is for me the bridge to the highest hope, and a rainbow after long storms. Otherwise, however, would the tarantulas have it. "Let it be very justice for the world to become full of the storms of our vengeance"—thus do they talk to one another. "Vengeance will we use, and insult, against all who are not like us"—thus do the tarantula-hearts pledge themselves. "And 'Will to Equality'—that itself shall henceforth be the name of virtue; and against all that hath power will we raise an outcry!" Ye preachers of equality, the tyrant-frenzy of impotence crieth thus in you for "equality": your most secret tyrant-longings disguise themselves thus in virtue-words!"
Thus Spake Zarathustra, Friedrich Nietzsche, ch. 29 "The Tarantulas"

Edit: My purpose in posting this is not to say that all efforts toward equality are "wrong" but to elucidate the psychology of those who are hiding their ill will under that banner, aka, for this sub, many 3rd wave feminists, much of mainstream media. They don't care how you got where you are, it's a blind desire to tear all down and take it for themselves, without earning it.

Yeah I'll be honest. I can plow through a good, modern novel. Even in Spanish. And the same for rather difficult technical / programming books.
But the minute I start reading philosophy or anything written by some of these 19th or 18th century writers, my eyes glaze over and my brain just shuts down. I've read this post 2x now, slowly, and I still don't understand what is so good about it.
Maybe I should practice reading older books, instead of things written in modern speech.
