See, the rant I want to write is about how feminism's mistake was in allowing the terms of the debate to be defined as, "Women are as good as men -- because we can do anything men can do," and wound up trapped in trying to do everything men do and everything men do, rather than in attacking the proposition that "feminine = useless." Feminists haven't been trying to do the latter very much at all, just the former -- and that's why "girly" remains an insult and even women sometimes feel vaguely shamed at doing or caring about feminine things.
