can someone explain

Although this is a good post, the title does not say enough about its subject. This forces people to click and read before they can decide whether they are interested. It also makes searching impossible.

If everyone did this, the subreddit would become unusable. Moreover, it means that your post will fail to reach some readers because they won't know what it's about.

So please don't do it in future. Take the time to describe your link, and save the time of hundreds of other people.

When making a title, it's best to assume the reader doesn't know what you're talking about - but don't go overboard with every detail. Then check if there are any words you can cut out without losing any important information.

i want to understand more why ~~women~~ feminists think they don’t have equal rights.

No one knows.

I've asked feminists that question many times, after they've said something like "We're fighting for equal rights". I've often asked, "Which rights, specifically, are you fighting for?" and "Which rights do men in this country have, but you lack?".

The only answer I ever get is, "You're a misogynist for asking that question".

So there you have it, I guess.

Women already have the same rights as men (arguably more rights than men particularly around family law) so it's not about that at all.

What it is about is power.

This is seen when they complain about women being underrepresented in CEO and top management positions, but they don't worry about being underrepresented in low-level or dirty, labour-intensive jobs like mining, trades or sanitation.

It is seen in politics when they complain about Hillary Clinton not being president despite that being determined by a democratic vote (which, in countries like New Zealand, Australia, UK, Israel, Germany and others have resulted in women leaders).

It is seen in the education sector where they complain about the lack of women in STEM despite there already being women in STEM courses, incentives, scholarships and quotas to attract more young women to those fields while ignoring the fact that no such assistance is rendered to men seeking to enter predominantly female-dominated areas (like health, teaching and social sciences). In Australia, several universities actually lower the entrance scores for Engineering for girls only. Additionally, they're silent as fewer and fewer men and boys are making it to or through tertiary education.

Finally, it is seen in public affairs where they'll complain about their safety in public despite enjoying a statistically lower chance of being assaulted or murdered. They'll complain about the 1 in 4 homeless people being a woman despite there being far better services to help them, all while the remaining 3 in 4, being men, receive less support yet are more numerous. They'll complain about the few men who make it into women only spaces (e.g. The Wing) even after they've fought to get girls into the Boy Scouts, women into mens clubs (e.g. The Brisbane) and to have their own gyms.

Sheer hypocrisy masquerading as empowerment.

IMO, this has to do with how hierarchies are established.
Men establish hierarchies of merit/competency. Women establish hierarchies of value/status.

so does anyone have any idea?

It's part of the cultural narrative feminists have been preaching for decades. Like many sermons there is a lot of emotion, not much evidence, and many who accept its message blindly.
