Feminism as a hate movement

Just watching the title has me interested. I've seen so many videos of libfems pulling the victim card, no matter what facts are presented towards them. I can whole heartedly agree that gender equality does not exist everywhere in the world, but I do believe that most 1st world countries are fairly equal. In these fairly equal environments, modern feminists always throw out the same topics, with little to no evidence, most popularly 'rape culture' and 'gender wage gap' I feel safe to say that there is no real 'rape culture' in the USA, because I've never been anywhere in the USA where sexual assault/sexual harassment isn't taken seriously.
Statistically there might actually be a 'gender wage gap', but like all statistics, context can vastly change the meaning of said statistics. A study from Carnegie Mellon shows that 83% of men will negotiate for wages, when only 53% of women will*. A University of Michigan Law School study in the 70s showed that women only made 83.5% of what men made, with the same qualifications**. Besides the fact that this information is 40 years out dated, with about half of the population NOT negotiating for a higher salary, and the widely regarded amount to negotiate for a raise in salary is around 20%, it makes sense that there is that gap.
