That reads like a straw proposal of what 'modern feminism' means.
Modern feminism means things like not having peer reviewers suggest that a "paper, written by two female researchers, should include at least one male author to make sure that the data were interpreted correctly, and says that only men have the personality necessary to make it to the top jobs in science." - https://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/news/sexist-peer-review-causes-storm-online/2020001.article https://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/news/sexist-peer-revi... .
Modern feminism means things not having to put up with a research culture where women have to '“put up with” advisor looking down her shirt' - http://retractionwatch.com/2015/06/01/science-pulls-advice-post-suggests-student-put-up-with-advisor-looking-down-her-shirt/ http://retractionwatch.com/2015/06/01/science-pulls-advice-p...
Modern feminism means fighting for paternal leave and maternal leave for new parents. Because many men also want to take time off for their newborn, but can't because of systemic biases, both legal and cultural, which prevent that.
The article says "however studies have shown that boys tend to be more fragile than girls biologically and psychologically requiring greater medical care and emotional nurturing." ROFL - just the other day we heard a Nobel prize winner say "Three things happen when [women] are in the lab: You fall in love with them, they fall in love with you, and when you criticize them, they cry." So what is it - women are emotionally fragile and can't handle criticism or men are the ones who need more psychological nurturing?
"The ideations of modern feminism do not promote men in areas where men are at a disadvantage" is of course wrong. One counter-example is paternity leave. Eg, 'Paternity Leave and Why Men Need Feminism Too' at http://time.com/2853080/fathers-day-gift-paternity-leave-feminism-for-men/ http://time.com/2853080/fathers-day-gift-paternity-leave-fem... . In the more feminist Sweden, said a visiting American "What’s up with all the gay nannies?" after seeing all the fathers with their children - http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Europe/2014/0405/No-Sweden-is-not-full-of-gay-nannies.-Those-are-the-dads http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Europe/2014/0405/No-Sweden-is... .
Quoting further from the 'gay nannies' article, "For Americans, who have some of the paltriest parental policies on the planet, it is apparently more logical that nannies – gay at that – would flock to northern Europe than that fathers doing what they are biologically intended to do: care for their young children."
