Why is feminism not about equality?

Why is feminism not about equality?

First, imagine you get paid to eat a handful of candy from a bowl every month and 90% of those candies are poison.   You may not die from eating a single poisoned candy but it will at least reduce your lifespan by 10%.    Sound good so far?

You aren't allowed to refuse them.    If you don't eat them the government will throw you in jail or execute you.    

Now, imagine your neighbor is getting paid the same amount of money you get, but they don't have to eat any candy.   

Is that equality?
