Long before feminism appeared in the 1970s, it was humanists from both sexes who generated equality.

International women's day was announced in the 1920s not by feminists but by humanists.

The vote was obtained by humanists in the same decade, not by feminists (and only several years after men got it, the reason for the delay being that men received it only in exchange for serving in the army and most people including most women, viewing the war-vote link as a given simply because universal voting was not created yet - not for men either - saw voting as sending to war and did not want to send women to war. After world war I, this link of war-vote was dismantled for both sexes and both could for the first time vote regardless of going to war - again this was achieved by humanists of both sexes and had nothing to do with feminists).

The laws against discrimination in pay were enacted in the 50s and 60s, again by humanists and not by feminism.

Violence against women has always been an issue that concerns all of society and does not require feminism - punishment for severe domestic violence and sexual violence as rape is as ancient as civilization.

Universities started to try and make women apply since the late 19th century (!) and by the 70s when feminism was just being formed women were already a majority among students.

Women who grew up before feminism had higher participation in high-ranking political positions in the 70s and 80s compared to the generation that was raised in feminism after the 70s, and those women from the previous generation identified explicitly as non-feminists when feminism appeared while they were occupying positions.

While humanism continued, feminism's primary goal, as declared in the 70s, had nothing to do with equality - the founders' goal was ending any type of couple-hood between the sexes - this is written in feminist texts. Most feminist actions since then were to that effect.

Equality was generated through humanism, not by feminism, and will continue regardless of feminism. What feminism was trying to achieve is separation between the sexes, and this has been and is the primary contribution of its continuation.
